Disporum is a genus from Asia with about 20 species, the North American ones now classified as Prosartes. Disporopsis is similar, and both are sometimes known, particularly in America, as Solomon's seals, although that term is more often applied to the related Polygonatum. They are woodland plants, with small, hanging flowers, usually white or pale yellow, followed by coloured fruit

Disporum sessile 'Variegatum' is a form of this short woodland plant with starry white flowers, and variegated creamy striped leaves.
