Orychophragmus violaceus, the Chinese violet cress, is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae.[2] It is native to northern and southeastern China and North Korea, and it has been introduced to Japan and the U.S. state of Virginia.[1] An annual or biennial herb typically 60 cm (24 in) tall, it is found in a wide variety of habitats, including anthropogenically disturbed ones.[3] Hardy in USDA zones 7 through 10, in China it is cultivated as a vegetable for its stalks.[2] The Royal Horticultural Society considers it "potentially harmful".[4]
