@tiggrx @jakob any comments/something I'm missing before we commit this?

Personally I am more used to Persicaria but I think your reasoning is all correct and you should go ahead with the change. Presumbly several other Bistorta sp. will need changing on iNat.

I approve. :-) At least for North America, it looks like all of our bistorts are now in Bistorta.
