Maianthemum bicolor



The species comes from Korea, with greenish white flowers. This is the plant that comes up in the pot with the 'Maianthemum bicolor' label in it - that is how confident I am of the identification!

Plants of the World online says:

"The native range of this species is China (Jilin) to Korea. It is a rhizomatous geophyte and grows primarily in the temperate biome."

Arrowhead Alpines expose the wonder of the internet with:

"A Korean species and the only info I could find was in Korean, it suffers a bit from the Google translation, here are a few highlights. ? The beard root to the genitals is born from the joint? ? both sides flow in lower part and becoming the short leaf sack? ? is projection where the hair sleeps almost without above reverse side pulse? and my favorite ?the flower stalk comes out from the armpit of the gun?. the flower runs?
