Adoxa moschatellina

Adoxa moschatellina (Adoxaceae) 102 22

 

Adoxa moschatellina is a species of flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae

Adoxa moschatellina is a rhizomatous plant growing in mats with a delicate appearance. It has thin, erect unbranched stems which end in clusters of five green flowers which are 6 to 8 millimeters across. These flowers give the species one of its common names, "Town Hall clock", as they face outwards in four directions at 90 degrees to each other, resembling the four faces of a town clock.

Adoxa moschatellina has a boreal, circumpolar distribution in Europe, Asia, and North America.

This species grows in humid brown soils under shade on the banks of rivers and streams, in deciduous woodlands, and under hedgerows.
