lily of the valley

鈴蘭 すずらん スズラン 铃兰

Convallaria is a poisonous woodland flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to cool temperate climates in North America, Europe, and Asia. Its Japanese name is 鈴蘭 / スズラン (suzuran) and its Chinese name is 鈴蘭 / 铃兰 (Linglan).

The flowers come in clusters, dangling from curved, alternating offshoots from a main stem (aka raceme) and are bell-shaped and (usually) white. All parts of the plant are poisonous, including its red berries.

Not to be confused with snowbells, as they bear a strong resemblance to lily of the valley. Visual points to note: Snowbells have a green or yellow spot on the tip of each petal; each flower-bearing stem (called a pedicel) ends in a "bulb" (receptacle) to which a flower is attached. A good visual example is post #2894988 with snowbells on the left and lilies of the valley on the right. Also, not to be confused with bellflower whose flowers typically have a longer, less rounded bell shape.

Often associated with the characters Medicine Melancholy and Suzuran.
