Looks like Bistorta affinis 'Dimity'. 😃

Maybe this should be moved to the species entry, if there is a question about which cultivar it could be?

Yes I think that is what I intended. But I am new on this website and and I am just learning where certain message types should be entered, and anyway I dont have the authority to move anything anywhere.

This isn't a plant I know at all to have an opinion about its' ID but there are several choices and, for some reason, the plain species entry doesn't have any pics yet but 2 other entries do. Somebody should be able to help with the decision about which one to use.

If you didn't have any question about that, you can submit a proposal to move it to whichever entry was the intended one. At the bottom of the page generated when clicking on the image:

Hi, this was posted so long ago I am not sure what I meant! i think it was that the label on the plant was possibly incorrect and I needed to see if anyone knew it for certain. I did about 7 years of work on this group, and have found it is quite phenotypically plastic, but there is no substitute for actually knowing a given species well regardless of its environmentally caused variation, thanks to those of you who have commented here.

Moved two images to the generic Bistorta officinalis entry.
