@JaneR . Good day !
Please add confirmation and additional confidence to this identification, cf. P. strigosa,
by noting the average width of the leaves (either an estimate or a measure, either way) ?
Ref': key step 4 : https://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Persicaria#4
The inflorescences were enough for confirmation of this identification, for me, cf. P. strigosa .
Of course this, simpler older, ref' (in brief, without full citation):
(Rather than taxonomic journal articles.)
