Paris quadrifolia
''Paris quadrifolia'' (Herb Paris, True Lover's Knot) is a Eurasian species of the genus ''Paris'' in the family Melanthiaceae, although authorities formerly regarded it as part of the Liliaceae family. It is related to ''Trillium'', with which it can be confused. ''Trillium'', however, is generally 3-merous (3 leaves per whorl, 3 petals etc.), whereas ''Paris quadrifolia'' is 4-merous.〔
==Characteristics==
''Paris quadrifolia'' has solitary flowers with four or more very narrow greenish filiform (threadlike) petals and green petaloid sepals. The flower is borne above a single whorl of four or more stem leaves. It prefers calcareous soils and lives in damp and shady places, especially old established woods and streamsides. It occurs locally in temperate and cool areas throughout Europe and northern Asia from Spain to Yakutia and northern China, but is absent in the wild from the Americas, Africa and the southern hemisphere. In Britain it is more frequently found in the east of the country, but it is uncommon throughout its range.〔〔(Flora of China Vol. 24 Page 95 四叶重楼 si ye chong lou ''Paris quadrifolia'' Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 1: 367. 1753. )〕〔(Altervista Flora Italiana, Uva di volpe ''Paris quadrifolia'' L. )〕
Each plant only produces one blueberry-like berry, which is poisonous, as are other tissues of the plant.
''Paris quadrifolia'' poisonings are rare, because the plant's solitary berry and its repulsive taste make it difficult to mistake it for a blueberry.
