Discussion
Wolf and McNeill described Hudsonian knotweed as a subspecies of Polygonum caurianum (P. humifusum subsp. caurianum in this treatment). In raising it to the rank of species, H. R. Hinds (1995) noted that “separation between P. fowleri and P. hudsonianum, however, is more difficult.” M. Costea and F. J. Tardif (2003) concluded that the taxon is best treated as a subspecies of P. fowleri, based on the existence of intermediate plants.
