Fagopyrum cymosum, also known as tall buckwheat,[2] is a domesticated plant used in traditional Chinese medicine,[3] for animal feed, and as an ornamental plant.[2] It is native to much of China, and to Bhutan, Nepal, India, Burma, and Vietnam.[3]

The flowers are known for their high content of fagopyrin, a naphthodianthrone that provokes phototoxic effects known as fagopyrism.[4]
