False Solomon's Seal

It is called false ... because it isn't the Smooth Solomon's Seal, though they do look alike before they produce their flowers. The False Solomon's Seal has this cluster of white flowers at the end of the stem and Smooth Solomons Seal has little bell shaped flowers hanging down along the under side of the stem. It is difficult for the seeds to germinate and make it through the thick layer of the forests leaf mulch to establish its roots, so it can also spread by under-ground runners.

Where I found it :  in the woods
