Twisted Stalk
Streptopus amplexifolius
Lily Family
Grows in moist, shady woods North Coast. Grows from thick, short rhizomes covered with fibrous roots May-August. The plant grows 1-2 feet tall.
The leaves are parallel veined and oval, the base clasping a well-branched stem. From a sharply twisted, right-angled pedicel hangs a single bell-like flower under each leaf. The flowers are white to greenish. Fruit forms yellow to red, ova-oblong berries, sometimes turning dark purple.
