Closely related to east Himalayan species Persicaria runcinata (Buch.-Ham. ex D.Don) H. Gross and looks like a mini edition of the latter by having runcinate (pinnately lobed) leaves. However it can immediately be identified by its overall smaller size, obtuse tepals and almost glabrous peduncle which is sometimes hairy just below the head. In P. runcinata the tepals are acute and peduncle is hairy.
