Firstly, using Latin names for plants can be very confusing and intimidating sometimes, however there is a good reason why we use them! Latin words for the genus or species offers descriptive terminology for the specific plant and it’s characteristics. Moreover the use of Latin plant names helps prevent any confusion caused by the multiple common names.
Japanese Knotweed (Reynoutria japonica syn. Fallopia japonica & Polygonum cuspidatum) often mistaken for other plants, such as Russian vine or bindweed. Secondly. this invasive weed has so many different names, therefore often causes confusion. For several decades now, Japanese Knotweed has been referred to by the Latin name Fallopia Japonica. However, following scientific studies of plant morphology and phylogenetics. Therefore taxonomists have recently re-assigned Japanese Knotweed to the genus Reynoutria. This is now the ‘correct’ name for Japanese Knotweed and should be used where possible going forward. Moreover, the name Fallopia remains the same in the majority of Government statutes and guidance. Finally, for the time being both names used are inter-changeable.
