Allium ochotense, the Siberian onion,[3] is a primarily East Asian species of wild onion native to northern Japan, Korea, China, and the Russian Far East, as well as on Attu Island in Alaska.[1]

Some authors have considered A. ochotense as belonging to the same species as A. victorialis,[4] but more recent authorities have treated it as a distinct species.[1][5][6][7][8]
