Polygonatum inflatum, a perennial herb of 30-70cm in
height, inhabits forests in mountainous regions, with cylindrical
stems at lower parts and curves at the upper legs in a bow, with
ridges on them. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis; blades are
7-15cm long, 7-8.5cm wide, long-oblong to broad-oval, with tips
obtuse, bases round, and margins entire. The leaves feel soft, and
the backsides tinge white, with short petioles. Axils droop
peduncles and 3-7 light yellow-green flowers set themselves together
on the tips with bracts; the bracts are membranous, 5-10mm long, and
lanceolate. Sap fruit, 10mm across, spherical, mature in black.
