Streptopus is a Eurasian and North American genus of flowering plants in the lily family, found primarily in colder and temperate regions.[2] Members of the genus are often referred to as twistedstalk.[3] It is one of the shade-loving genera of the lily family.[4]
Streptopus spp. are perennial herbs spreading by means of underground rhizomes. They generally produce flowers only one or two at a time, these being often small and hidden beneath the leaves and white, greenish-yellow or rose in colour.[2]
Etymologyedit
The genus name is a compound of the Greek adjective στρεπτός (streptos) "twisted" and the noun πούς (pous) "foot" in reference to the twisted or geniculate peduncle, as referenced in the English name given above.
