Koenigia weyrichii (synonym Persicaria weyrichii), [1] the Chinese knotweed [2] or Weyrich's knotweed, is a large, perennial, rhizomatous herb native to northeastern Asia in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and northern and central Japan. [1] It is also locally naturalised in northern Europe.

It is one of the parents of the cultivated hybrid Koenigia × fennica, the other being Koenigia alpina . [3] [4]
