8 most common species:
Maianthemum racemosum
False solomon's seal
False solomon's seal (*Maianthemum racemosum*) is a flowering woodland plant native to North America. False solomon's seal is also called the Feathery False Lily of the Valley. This plant is named "false Solomon's seal" because it resembles Solomon’s Seal, a flowering plant with red or black berries. Both are in the same family and are frequently found growing together. Native American tribes used false solomon's seal leaves to brew tea.
Maianthemum dilatatum
Snakeberry
Snakeberry (Maianthemum dilatatum) is an evergreen vine with dappled berries. Though each stalk grows no more than three leaves, the plant's underground rhizomes can produce hundreds of stalks that spread quickly across shaded forest floors. The fruits start out green and turn a bright red when ripe. Snakeberry grows in temperate rain forests across a range of latitudes.
Maianthemum canadense
Canada mayflower
Canada mayflower is a low growing wildflower that features small white blossoms and flourishes in woody areas. It grows to 10 to 25 cm tall and can be found in the Northeast areas of North America. Because it spreads by rhizomes, it can often be found in a carpet-like mass.
Maianthemum bifolium
May lily
May lily is a hardy flowering plant that grows even in Siberia and therefore is often used as an ornamental plant in cold climates. This moist-loving perennial won't tolerate dry soil. It produces white flower spikes in spring which turn into red berries in the late summer.
Maianthemum stellatum
Starry false lily of the valley
Starry false lily of the valley (Maianthemum stellatum) is a native North American flower that flourishes in a wide range of environments. Starry false lily of the valley produces bright green berries that turn crimson as the season progresses. Those become food sources for grouse, bears, elk, and other wildlife.
Maianthemum japonicum
False solomon's seal
There is a rhizome in the basement, it is fleshy and has a diameter of 4 to 7 mm. The stem is round and the height is 20 to 70 cm. The stem is upright, but the upper part is slanted and covered with rough hair as it goes up. The leaves alternate on the top of the stem, the leaf blades are oval oval with a length of 6 to 15 cm, the tip is sharp and the base is round or cut. Coarse hairs grow on both sides of the leaves, especially on the back veins. A conical inflorescence is attached to the tip of the stem, and many small amphoteric flowers are attached. There are many rough hairs in the inflorescence and floral pattern. The flower cover pieces are white, 6 long, 3 to 4 mm long oval, narrow and flat. There are 6 stamens, shorter than flower pieces. The pistil length of the pistil is 0.5 to 1 mm long and the stigma is round or only 3 splits. The fruit is a spherical berry, 5 to 7 mm in diameter, initially green but later ripens red.
Maianthemum formosanum
Maianthemum formosanum
Maianthemum formosanum is a shade-loving perennial with a lush, groundcover habit. Sporting broad, heart-shaped leaves and tender stems, it thrives in damp forest undergrowth. In spring, it bears small, starry white flowers that give way to glossy, black berries, offering a striking contrast against the verdant foliage.
Maianthemum henryi
Maianthemum henryi
Representing a genus of flowering plants the name Maianthemum henryi is a combination of the Latin word Maia which means May and the Greek word anthemon which means flower. Thus the common name maianthemum henryi is used to describe these plants. Flowers bloom in spring and come in a variety of colors and shapes depending on the particular species. They can grow in partial shade.

Dracaena
Dracaena
Dracaena are popular house plants that are easy to grow. They can tolerate low-light conditions and require little watering. Their leaves range from variegated to dark green. Their characteristic traits include woody stems that grow slowly but offer a striking appearance for small spaces such as apartments or offices.
Ficus
Fig trees
Fig trees have been cultivated in many regions for their fruits, particularly the common fig, F. carica. Most of the species have edible fruits, although the common fig is the only one of commercial value. Fig trees are also important food sources for wildlife in the tropics, including monkeys, bats, and insects.
Rubus
Brambles
Brambles are members of the rose family, and there are hundreds of different types to be found throughout the European countryside. They have been culturally significant for centuries; Christian folklore stories hold that when the devil was thrown from heaven, he landed on a bramble bush. Their vigorous growth habit can tangle into native plants and take over.
Acer
Maples
The popular tree family known as maples change the color of their leaves in the fall. Many cultural traditions encourage people to watch the colors change, such as momijigari in Japan. Maples popular options for bonsai art. Alternately, their sap is used to create maple syrup.
Prunus
Prunus
Prunus is a genus of flowering fruit trees that includes almonds, cherries, plums, peaches, nectarines, and apricots. These are often known as "stone fruits" because their pits are large seeds or "stones." When prunus trees are damaged, they exhibit "gummosis," a condition in which the tree's gum (similar to sap) is secreted to the bark to help heal external wounds.
Solanum
Nightshades
Nightshades is a large and diverse genus of plants, with more than 1500 different types worldwide. This genus incorporates both important staple food crops like tomato, potato, and eggplant, but also dangerous poisonous plants from the nightshade family. The name was coined by Pliny the Elder almost two thousand years ago.
Rosa
Roses
Most species of roses are shrubs or climbing plants that have showy flowers and sharp thorns. They are commonly cultivated for cut flowers or as ornamental plants in gardens due to their attractive appearance, pleasant fragrance, and cultural significance in many countries. The rose hips (fruits) can also be used in jams and teas.
Quercus
Oaks
Oaks are among the world's longest-lived trees, sometimes growing for over 1,000 years! The oldest known oak tree is in the southern United States and is over 1,500 years old. Oaks produce an exceedingly popular type of wood which is used to make different products, from furniture and flooring to wine barrels and even cosmetic creams.
