This family is characterized by plants with often rhizomatous or herbaceous growth forms and flowers typically arranged in clusters. The genus Fallopia includes several species known for their vigorous growth and adaptability to various environments. F. aubertii was formally recognized and published in 1971 by the botanist Holub, who based the classification on earlier studies conducted by L.Henry.
