Adoxa
''Adoxa moschatellina'' (moschatel, five-faced bishop,〔(Collins Dictionary entry )〕 hollowroot, muskroot, townhall clock, tuberous crowfoot) is an herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae. It is the sole member of the genus ''Adoxa''. It grows throughout Europe, Asia, and North America, in hedgerows, cool forests, at low altitudes in the far north, to high altitudes in mountains in the south of its range. The plant and its flowers have a musk-like scent, which it emits towards evening when the dew falls. If the plant is bruised this scent disappears. In Europe, it flowers in April and May.
The names "five-faced bishop" and "townhall clock" allude to the structure of its inflorescence. This consists of five flowers: one four-petalled flower facing upwards, and four five-petalled flowers facing horizontally, as seen in the pictures.
