Ladys Thumb
Lady's Thumb (Polygonum persicaria) is a common weed or wildflower that grows in partial shade, often springing up in the small spaces between buildings in urban areas. It is a relative of Knotwood. It can be identified by its characteristic lance-like leaves that are each marked with a single dark spot (the "lady's thumbprint") and it's unique flowers, tiny pink and white blooms that grow clustered on spikes. It is sometimes called redshank or redleg.
Lady's Thumb contains tannins and has been used as an herbal treatment for diarrhea and infections. The leaves may be applied to wounds to help stop bleeding. Leaves also are boiled and eaten as a green in some parts of the world. Extracts from the plant's leaves are sometimes used as a soak to ease joint pain.
