Forms: Also 1500s–1600s Salomon's seal(e.
Etymology: translating medieval Latin sigillum Solomōnis (Salo-, Salamōnis). The name has been variously explained as referring to the markings seen on a transverse section of the root-stock, or to the round scars left on this by the decay of the stems, or to the use of the root ‘to seal and close up green wounds’.
1. A plant, Polygonatum multiflorum, the stems of which bear on the upper part broad sessile leaves and drooping green and white flowers.
