Familia: Polygonaceae
Subfamilia: Polygonoideae
Tribus: Polygoneae
Subtribus: Reynoutriinae
Genera: Fallopia – Muehlenbeckia – Parogonum – Reynoutria

Name

Reynoutriinae Roberty & Vautier Boissiera 10: 56. (1964)

Synonyms

Muhlenbeckiinae Roberty & Vautier

Note: This subtribe is monophyletic (Desjardins, 2015 & Schuster et al., 2011). Dowever, Desjardins et al. (2023) provided solutions to taxonomic uncertainty by proposing Parogonum as a segregate from Fallopia.
