Also called Swamp False Solomon's Seal, Three Leaved Solomon's Seal, Three Leaved False Solomon's Seal, Three Leaved Solomon's Plume, Three Leaved False Lily Of The Valley, Three Leaf False Lily Of The Valley, Three Leaved False Solomon’s Seal
Threeleaf false lily of the valley (Maianthemum trifolium) is a small rhizomatous woodland perennial, 10 to 25 cm tall, that spreads by rhizomes and grows in cool, wet habitats. It is a native of boreal and northeastern North America and Siberia, so it suits cool, moist, shaded spots rather than hot, dry conditions.
Maianthemum trifolium (Three-leaf Solomon's-seal, three-leaf Solomon's-plume, threeleaf false lily of the valley, smilacine trifoliée) is a species of flowering plant that is associated with extremely wet environments and is native to Canada and the northeastern United States as well as St. Pierre and Miquelon and Asia (Siberia).
Found in all Canadian provinces and territories and in the US in some northeastern states (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin). Also found in St. Pierre and Miquelon and Asia (Siberia).
