Collected by Chris Brickell in the 1970s and sold by Washfield. Evergreen Solomon's Seal relative with white flowers marked with brown in late spring. 35cm. Good soil in shade, even quite dark.

Disporopsis pernyi is one of the best plants at coping with dark shady places though in common with all plants it still need some light and especially moisture!  The leaves bleach in sun.
