P. officinale), the angular Solomon's seal or scented Solomon's seal, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to Europe, the Caucasus, Siberia, the Russian Far East, China, Mongolia, Korea, Nepal and Japan.
The scented tubular flowers are white with green tips, borne in spring and hanging from the underside of the stems.
[2] Polygonatum odoratum, like its relative lily of the valley, is cultivated in moist, shaded situations, where it will spread by underground stolons.
It has been used for intestinal problems and pain, for rheumatism, gout, water retention, and as a diuretic.
The stems, leaves, and berries, however, must be treated with caution, as they are thought to be toxic if consumed in large quantities.
