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 dwelling members of the lily family.[4]
Streptopus is a perennial herb spreading by means of underground rhizomes. It generally produces flowers only one or two at a time, often small and hidden beneath the leaves. They are white, greenish-yellow or rose-colored.[2]
