Maianthemum dilatatum (snakeberry, two-leaved Solomon's seal, deer heart, false lily of the valley, or western lily of the valley) is a common rhizomatous perennial flowering plant that is native to western North America from northern California to the Aleutian Islands, and Asia across the Kamchatka Peninsula, Japan, and Korea. It grows in coastal temperate rainforests, and is often the dominant groundcover plant in Sitka Spruce forests.
