In the same area as I found this Solomon's Seal, there were countless Feathery
False Solomon's Seal plants (Maianthemum racemosum). You can see that one
of the main differences between the plants is that the flowers of the true Solomon's
Seal grow all along the bottom of the stem and hang down. The flowers of the Feathery
False Solomon's Seal grow at the apex/end of the stem. Also the root of the Solomon's
Seal has more pronounced nodes -- each node signifying one year of plant growth.
