Persicaria filiformis is a species of flowering plant in the family Polygonaceae, native to the Kuril Islands, Japan (including the Ryukyu Islands), Korea, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam.[1] It was first described as Polygonum filiforme in 1784 by Carl Thunberg and transferred to the genus Persicaria in 1819 by Takenoshin Nakai.[2] The species has been treated as the variety filiformis of Persicaria virginiana, a North American species.[1] The leaves are light green, eliptical, and about 15 cm (5.9 in) long. They are commonly (but not always) marked with a pair of brown spots near the center of the leaf.[3]
