Maianthemum flexuosum is a perennial, terrestrial understory herb of cloud forests from southern Mexico to Nicaragua.

[3] Maianthemum flexuosum grows 40–75 cm (16–30 in)[2] tall from spreading rhizomes with roots clumped near the base of leafy shoots.

Leaf blades sometimes have small hairs but are usually hairless, lance- to egg-shaped with pointed tips and rounded to slightly tapered bases and with undulating edges.

The flowers have tepals that are spreading to bent back, 5-11 mm long and usually lavender to pink (rarely white to green-white).

Maianthemum flexuosum has been found in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua[1] and several states in Mexico Southeast including Chiapas, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Michoacán, Oaxaca, and Veracruz.
