Disporum viridescens is a species of flowering plant in the genus Disporum. Like other species in the genus, it grows from a rhizome. The plant is 30cmto80cmcm (10inchesto30inchescm), with a stem that may branch. The leaves are more-or-less ovate in shape with a very short petiole (stalk). One or two open flowers are borne at the ends of stems; they have greenish white tepals which are 1.5cmto2cmcm (00.6inchesto01inchescm) long. Flowering is in late spring to early summer (May to June in the northern hemisphere). Black berries around 1cm (00inches) in diameter appear a few months later.
Plants grow in woodland or on grassy slopes at altitudes up to 600m (2,000feet) in northeastern China, eastern Russia, Japan, and Korea.
