Persicaria: Persicaria is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the knotweed family, Polygonaceae.  Plants of the genus are known commonly as knotweeds or smartweeds.  It has a cosmopolitan distribution, with species occurring nearly worldwide.  The genus was segregated from "Polygonum".

Polygonum californicum: Polygonum californicum is a species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family known by the common name California knotweed.  It is native to the west coast of the United States from Washington, Oregon, and northern and central California in the Coast Ranges and Sierra Nevada foothills as far south as Napa and Tulare Counties.

Polygonum: Polygonum is a genus of about 220 species of flowering plant in the buckwheat and knotweed family Polygonaceae.  Common names include knotweed, knotgrass, bistort, tearthumb, mile-a-minute, smartweed and several others.  In the Middle English glossary of herbs "Alphita" ( 1400-1425), it was known as ars-smerte.  There have been various opinions about how broadly the genus should be defined.  For example, Buckwheat ("Fagopyrum esculentum") has sometimes been included in the genus as "Polygonum fagopyrum".

Polygonum polygaloides: Polygonum polygaloides is a North American species of flowering plants in the buckwheat family known by the common names milkwort knotweed and polygala knotweed.  It is native to much of western North America, where it can be found in many types of moist habitat.  It is a variable species, usually divided into a number of subspecies.

Pachysandra: Pachysandra is a genus of five species of evergreen perennials or subshrubs, belonging to the boxwood family Buxaceae.
