Notes: Note source: No. 70. 1 May 1929. Risheranpivar I fume??? Label source: Dr Hooker, Persian drug No. 70 appears to be the rhizome of a species of Polygonum. I have compared it with a rhizome labelled Polygonum amplexicaule in the Museum, and it shows a go, od deal of resemblance to that in structure, but is a little different. If there is no likely species of Polygonum in Persia, can there be a Rumex with a rhizome? The plant probably grows in very wet soil or is aquatic. L.A.B. 27.2.30.
