× Reyllopia is a hybrid genus with a single known species, × Reyllopia conollyana ( synonym Fallopia × conollyana), [1] the Haringey knotweed or railway-yard knotweed. The species is a hybrid between Japanese knotweed ( Reynoutria japonica) and the Russian vine ( Fallopia baldschuanica). The only known wild British population was discovered ("new to science") by David Bevan at Railway Fields in 1987. [2]
It was named in honour of Ann Conolly in 2001 for her 84th birthday. [3] At the time, both parents were considered to be in the genus Fallopia.
