Question
Is this a Persicaria? Growing along a roadside. Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Answer
Dear jfc, yes, this is a species of Persicaria (smartweed), in the Polygonaceae. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you which species without a good view of the stipules (the tubular sheaths around the stem where the leaves are attached) and a closer image of the flowers.
