Fallopia scandens
Species of flowering plant in the knotweed family Polygonaceae / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fallopia scandens, the climbing false buckwheat, is a species of Fallopia native to North America.[1] It is a herbaceous perennial plant which grows from to 1–5 m (3–16 ft) tall.[1] Although they are semi-erect during bloom, when they are producing fruit, they hang from their pedicels in a downward position. Both the fruit and flower are greenish-white in appearance.[3] In North America, it is often misidentified with Fallopia dumetorum, a species endemic to Europe.[1]
