Smooth Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum biflorum (Walter) Elliott)
Also classified as Polygonatum commutatum (Schult. & Schult.f.) A.Dietr.
Some authorities split off the variety var. commutatum into its own species, Polygonatum commutatum. We follow POWO's treatment which does not even recognize any sub-taxa of this species, so we lump that species in with this one. Note however that sources referring to that name are usually referring only to a subset of the populations we refer to with this name.

This tentative map is based on our own research. It may have limited data on Canada and/or Mexico, and there is some subjectivity in our assignment of plants as introduced vs. expanded. Read more in this blog post.
Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.
