Keiske's Lily-of-the-Valley

Family Liliaceae. Occurs in forests, mainly light (but also in shady ones with a moss cover), on old clearings and floodplain meadows in the warm-temperate and southern part of the taiga zone of the Far East, from Transbaikalia to Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands, the Korean Peninsula, northern China and Japan.

Differs from С. majalis by its bracts, which are more or less equal in length to the pedicels, by larger (0.6-0.8 cm long) broadly bell-shaped flowers and by later flowering times. Stem 15-30 cm high. Rhizome long, strongly branched. Leaves with spaced blades 6-14 cm long, 4-7 cm wide. Flowers in a one-sided nodding raceme. Bracts equal to or shorter than the pedicels. Pedicels arcuate, nodding. The teeth of the perianth ovate-triangular, slightly thickened at the tip, bent outward. Staminal filaments ribbon-like, widened at the base. Anthers claviform, slightly longer than the filaments. Berries orange-red.
