Fallopia
Also called Knotweeds, Fallopias
Fallopia is a genus of about 12 species of flowering plants in the buckwheat family, in the past often included in a wider treatment of the related genus Polygonum, and previously including Reynoutria. The genus is native to temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere, but species have been introduced elsewhere. The genus includes species forming vines and shrubs.
Fallopia species are native to much of the Northern Hemisphere, including most of Eurasia, North Africa and central and eastern North America. They have been widely introduced elsewhere including eastern and southern Africa, eastern North America, including Mexico, and parts of South America.
