Polygonum ramosissimum is a North American species of herbaceous annual plants in the buckwheat family. It is commonly called bushy knotweed and is widespread across much of Canada and the United States. It has erect stems growing 30 to 100 cm tall, with yellowish-green to blue-green foliage and freely branched with closed flowers produced in groups of 2 to 3 flowers in the upper ocreae of racemes. There are two subspecies that vary in flower and foliage coloration. It is susceptible to downy mildew caused by the oomycete species Peronospora americana. In Maryland, the species is listed as endangered or extirpated from the state, in Pennsylvania it has been exterminated from the state, and New Hampshire lists it as threatened.
