Thanks for showing us it growing in the wild. Do you or anyone else know what photo no. 48 is?
It has heart shaped leaves but a smilacina type flower.

You mean this one, Susan?
I think it may be a Maianthemum ?... maybe M. bifolium..... not sure where that grows in China!

I've got a Chinese lantern in my rockery and it grows near that. Does that count?

M. bifolium
certainly has a heart-shaped leaf but is it as tall as this? Mine is only about 6cms high in total. (I see RHS Dictionary of Gardening says 4-8 ins, i.e. 10-20 cms)

Lesley,
The scale of those in the attached link (

) seems similar.

Thanks Rob, as always. Boy that little plant has sure travelled around the world hasn't it? Native in so many places, it's surprising how little variation there is.

to Susan, Maggi Young is right, Maianthemum bifolium, Chinese name means red-crowned crane is dancing.
