Persicaria posumbu is a species of flowering plant in the family Polygonaceae.[1] It was first described as Polygonum posumbu in 1825 and transferred to the genus Persicaria in 1919.[2] Plants of the World Online records it as having a discontinuous native distribution: the Assam region, Bangladesh and the eastern Himalayas to the west, and Japan, Korea, the Kuril Islands and Primorye to the east.[1]

There is some confusion over the relationship between Persicaria posumbu and Persicaria cespitosa. Some sources regard P. cespitosa as an independent species,[3][4] others regard P. cespitosa as a synonym of P. posumbu.[5][6]
