Persicaria elatior, commonly known as tall knotweed, is a species of flowering plant native to eastern Australia.[1] It was one of eleven species selected for the Save a Species Walk campaign in April 2016; scientists walked 300 km to raise money for collection of seeds to be prepared and stored at the Australian PlantBank at the Australian Botanic Garden, Mount Annan.[2]
