Polygonum cuspidatum was classified as Reynoutria japonica by Houttuyn in 1777 and as Polygonum cuspidatum by Siebold in 1846.
Polygonum cuspidatum is known to hybridize with Polygonum sachalinense and with Fallopia baldschuanica (Bailey, 1985,1988).
Polygonum cuspidatum requires high light environments and effectively competes for light in such environments by emerging early in the spring and using its extensive rhizomatous reserves to quickly attain a height of 2-3 meters.

 65 FR 67335-673443 Proposed Endangered Status for Polygonum hickmanii (Scotts Valley polygonum)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Polygonum hickmanii (Scotts Valley polygonum) is a recently described endemic species from Scotts Valley, Santa Cruz County, California (Hinds and Morgan 1995).
Polygonum hickmanii is threatened with extinction by habitat alteration due to secondary impacts of urban development occurring within close proximity.
In the case of Polygonum hickmanii, ecological processes that would be important to maintain within preserve areas include, but are not limited to, the integrity of edaphic (soil) conditions, hydrologic processes (surface flows), the associated ``wildflower field'' plant community, plant-pollinator interactions, and seed dispersal mechanisms.

To test long-term response, instantaneous net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance were measured in situ on one full-sib replicate from five inbred lineages from each of five field populations per species, raised in all possible combinations of low or high light; dry, moist, or flooded soil; and poor or rich nutrient status.
Short-term plastic adjustment to changes in light level was examined by switching individual plants of the four species from one of six multifactorial growth environments to the contrasting light environment, and measuring assimilation rates 1 h after transfer.
The Polygonum species differed significantly in their patterns of long-term photosynthetic response to particular resources and resource combinations.

 Invasion Biology Introduced Species Summary Project - Columbia University
Scientific Name: Polygonum cuspidatum (most common name in U.S. and Japan), also known as Reynoutria japonica (most common in U.K. and Europe), a movement exists to standardize name as Fallopia japonica.
The Dutch botanist Houttuyn named the plant Reynoutria japonicain Japan in 1770, and it was not known until the late 1800s that Polygonum cuspidatum is identical (thus the disparity in scientific names).
Types of biological control agents (BCA) are being studied; it is known that there are many insects and fungi which control the plant's spread in its native range, so prospects are hopeful (according to the Japanese Knotweed Alliance).

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
The name Polygonum is a very ancient derivative, composed of the two Greek words, polys, many, and gony, knee or joint, alluding to the numerous and conspicuous nodes in the stems of many species.
Dioscorides, a Greek botanist, was the first to characterize Polygonum as having "numerous slender branches, creeping on the ground like grass, with fruit at each leaf." Subsequently, other Greek physicians, poets, and botanists applied the name to the knotweed/smartweed group, and in 1753, Linneaus adopted it for the genus.
The genus Polygonum consists of 150 vigorous and often invasive species of annual, perennial, and occasionally aquatic herbs.
