Thicket Bindweed (Fallopia dumetorum (L.) Holub)

Also known as copse bindweed.

USDA PLANTS and some other older sources treat this as a variety of climbing false buckwheat (Fallopia scandens), under the name Polygonum scandens var. dumetorum. We follow POWO's treatment, which is used by most other authorities including BONAP, which has moved both of these taxa into the Fallopia genus, and separated this taxon as its own species.
