Acroglochin persicarioides is a small, erect, hardy annual herb of the amaranth family, found as a weed of disturbed ground in the Himalayas and western China. It is a wild plant rather than a garden favourite, and is best recognised by its toothed leaves and small saucer-shaped fruits.
Acroglochin persicarioides is a species of flowering plants in the plant family Amaranthaceae. It is distributed from the Himalayas to China. The systematic position of the genus Acroglochin in subfamily Betoideae is still uncertain.
Acroglochin persicarioides is distributed from the Himalayas (northern parts of Pakistan and India), Kashmir, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet to China (Gansu, Guizhou, Hubei, S Hunan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan)
