Fagopyrum cymosum, a perennial herb 40-100cm in height, reportedly originating in Central Asia, escaped from cultivation, and some individuals now grow wild. Stems grow in clusters from tubers, stand erect and branch well, and are hollow, occasionally tinging brown. Leaves, wavy, are alternate, 4-12cm long, 3-11cm wide, in the shape of a triangular to cordate, with entire margins and 2-10 cm-long petioles. Axils on the upper parts emerge with racemes of 5-6mm across white flowers. Bloom time: September-October.
