Yes, in my brain, it will always be 'Tovara' tho' I do think it might
have been moved again to Persicaria...who knows; can't keep up with
the Taxonomists on this one.
I actually have what I think is the species - wild form - at least
naturalized in my woodland; plain green with insignificant white
flowers. I pull this; do NOT want it.
