Shungiku or tong hao (茼蒿) is a plant in the daisy family most closely related to Chrysanthemum and chamomile. In English it is called edible chrysanthemum or crown daisy.
The part that is eaten are the greens, which have an interesting bitter/medicinal flavor sort of like celery or angelica. They cook down nicely and absorb other flavors though. The texture of the tender stems is satisfying, similar to gai lan or water spinach.
Obtained fresh at 99 Ranch Market and cooked down once with just salt, and another time with delicious umami shallot sauce.
