Аннотация:Recently, the position of Polygonum schischkinii Ivanova ex Borodina (1989: 104) in the genus Atraphaxis Linnaeus (1753:333) was justified using both morphological and molecular data (Yurtseva et al. 2021). As a result, the new combination Atraphaxis glareosa (Schischkin 1938: 121) Yurtseva (in Yurtseva et al. 2021: 210) was proposed for Polygonum glareosum Schischk (basionym).Since the name P. glareosum was illegitimal a new nomenclatural change, based on the earliest available legitimate name, Polygonum schischkinii,was proposed here: Atraphaxis schischkinii (Ivanova ex Borodina) Yurtseva & Govaerts comb. nov.
