Silene cognata (syn. Lychnis cognata), the orange campion or orange catchfly, is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae, native to eastern and northern China, the Korean Peninsula, and Primorsky Krai in Russia.[1][2][3] In the wild it is found in a wide variety of habitats, from 500 to 2000 m above sea level.[4] It is occasionally available from commercial suppliers, usually under its synonym Lychnis cognata.[5] In Korea its leaves are harvested in the wild and sold in local markets as a food.[6]
