Paris polyphylla
1813Summary
Paris polyphylla is a species of flowering plant native to China, the Indian Subcontinent, and Indochina. It produces spider-like flowers that throw out long, thread-like, yellowish green petals throughout most of the warm summer months and into the autumn. In the fall, the flowers are followed by small, scarlet berries. It is a perennial, which slowly spreads, is fully hardy in Britain, and survives in leafy, moist soil in either complete or partial shade. This plant usually grows up to 90 cm (3 ft) high and spreads out about 30 cm (1 ft) wide. Its leaves grow in a single whorl below a flower growing in two whorls. According to Fayaz, there can be as many as twenty-two leaves in the whorl, a number exceeded only by some Equisetum species. This same source states that the tepals can number up to fourteen. It is used as an ornamental plant for woodland gardens or for planting under deciduous trees....read more on Wikipedia.
