Drymophila cyanocarpa commonly known as turquoise berry or native Solomon's seal, is a monocot species of flowering plant in the family Alstroemeriaceae (formerly Liliaceae).
Leaves are lanceolate to 8cm long with a prominent midrib, dark green in colour, sitting horizontal and alternate along the stem.
[2] Flowers are creamy white in colour arising from leaf axils, they sit pendulous beneath the stem, are typically 1.5cm in diameter and star shaped.
Drymo was one of the sea-nymphs from the Greek tale "Old Man of the Sea", who had waving locks of hair and a slender pale neck.
This could refer to the long drooping stem of Drymophila along with the dangling, or waving, flowers and fruits that are found on this species.
