The bow-shaped, curved stem of the many-flowered Solomon's seal (Polygonatum multiflorum) is round. Up to the tip it is leafy with two-ranked, ovate to elliptical leaves. The sessile stem leaves are glabrous. On the upper side they are green, on the lower side gray due to fluffy hairs arranged in rows. In the leaf axils, pendant inflorescences develop, consisting of up to five white flowers that are not scented. The floral tube has grown into a white tube that ends in six green lobes. The ripe fruits are dark blue berries.
The many-flowered Solomon's seal is a poisonous plant that grows in shaded places throughout Slovenia.
