Abstract
Study of six living population samples and herbarium
specimens of Persicaria salicifolia from Nigeria
revealed considerable variability in vegetative
and floral characters. Two subspecies, one of which
is a new one (subsp. nova, p. 516), are recognised.
Experimental cultivation showed that the combination
of distinguishing characters for each subspecies
remains intact under uniform conditions in the
botanical nursery.
