''Maianthemum stellatum'' (star-flowered, starry, or little false Solomon's seal, or simply false Solomon's seal; starry false lily-of-the-valley; syn. ''Smilacina stellata'') is a species of flowering plant, native across North America generally from Alaska to California to North Carolina to Newfoundland, plus northern Mexico (Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León).〔(Tropicos, specimen list for ''Maianthemum stellatum'' (L.) Link )〕〔(Tropicos, specimen list for ''Smilacina stellata'' (L.) Desf. )〕 It has been found in every Canadian province and territory except Nunavut, and from every US state except Hawaii and the states of the Southeast.〔(Biota of North America Program 2014 state-level distribution map )〕 It is an ever-changing seasonal plant with little white buds in the spring, followed by delicate starry flowers, then green-and-black striped berries (see image gallery) and finally deep red berries in the fall (image gallery).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Maianthemum stellatum'' )〕 ''Maianthemum stellatum'' is a woodland herbaceous perennial plant, smaller than its close relative ''M. racemosum''. For comparison, ''M. stellatum'' has smaller, more open inflorescences, flowers with stamens shorter rather than longer than the petals, and somewhat narrower and more curved leaves (image gallery). Both species show the characteristic zigzag of the stem between the alternate leaves. True Solomon's seal ''(Polygonatum'' sp) has a similar overall appearance, but the flowers hang from the stem underneath the leaves, rather than forming a terminal cluster. ==See also== * ''Maianthemum racemosum'', false Solomon's seal * ''Polygonatum commutatum'', Solomon's seal * ''Polygonatum biflorum'', Solomon's seal 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maianthemum stellatum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
