Allium sacculiferum, also called northern plain chive ^[3] or triangular chive, ^[3] is an East Asian species of wild onion native to Japan, Korea, eastern Russia (Amur Oblast, Khabarovsk, Primorye), and northeastern China (Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning). ^[2] It is found along the banks of lakes and rivers at elevations less than 500 m. ^{[4] [5] [6] [7]}

Allium sacculiferum makes one or two egg-shaped bulbs up to 20 mm across. Scapes are up to 70 cm tall, round in cross-section. Leaves are flat, shorter than the scape, up to 5 mm across. Umbels are spherical, with many flowers crowded together. Tepals are lilac to reddish-violet with darker midveins. ^{[4] [8] [9] [10] [11]}
