--><p>Chromosome number and habit traditionally have been used to separate <i>Fallopia</i> (x = 10; climbing or sprawling, fibrous-rooted annuals and perennials) from Reynoutria (x = 11; erect, rhizomatous perennials). J. P. Bailey and C. A. Stace (1992) presented evidence to the contrary. <i>Fallopia</i> often is included in a broader concept of <i>Polygonum</i> but is distinguished by a syndrome of anatomical and morphological characters (K. Haraldson 1978; Hong S. P. et al. 1998; L.-P. Ronse Decraene and J. R. Akeroyd 1988; Ronse Decraene et al. 2000). Molecular data confirm its close relationship to <i>Polygonum</i> in the narrow sense (A. S. Lamb Frye and K. A. Kron 2003).</p>
