Silene banksia (syn. Silene sieboldii) is a species of flowering plant in the family Caryophyllaceae. It is native to southeastern Siberia, most of China, and North Korea, and it has been introduced to Mongolia and Japan.[1] The species goes by the common names Chinese lychnis and jian chun luo.[2] It is a cultigen, domesticated in northeast Asia (almost certainly in China) at some time on the distant past.[3] No wild individuals are known.[3]
