Maianthemum Bifolium
''Maianthemum bifolium'' (false lily of the valley or May lily) is often a localized common rhizomatous flowering plant, native from western Europe (including Britain''New Flora of The British Isles'', Clive Stace) east to Siberia, China and Japan. Non-flowering stems usually have only one waxy leaf, but on flowering plants there is one basal leaf that withers away before flowering, and two stem leaves produced alternately up the 10–20 cm tall stems, which are topped off with many star-shaped white flowers. The leaves are heart to triangular, 3–8 cm long and 2–5 cm broad, with small fine hairs on the veins. The flowers have four tepals, four stamens and have two chambers in the pistil; flowering is in mid spring to early summer. This species, along with ''Maianthemum canadense'' and ''Maianthemum dilatatum'' are the only four-tepaled species. One to two seeds are produced in round berries that are speckled red when immature and redden with age. This species is ...

Flowering shoots have clusters of 12–25 starry-shaped, white flowers held above the leaves. Description Plants grow to tall, arising from branching rhizomes that have roots only at the nodes. Plants may be one-leaved and without fruiting structures (sterile). Fertile, flowering shoots have 2–3 leaves. Leaves Leaf blades are long by wide with a pointed tip.
