Streptopus amplexifolius
From Natural History of Southeast Alaska
Clasping Twistedstalk (Streptopus amplexifolius): Common plant of open coniferous forest, mostly at low elevations. Edible shoots when young (with cucumber-like flavor), but note superficial resemblance to poisonous Corn Lily (Veratrum viride). Most easily distinguished from Rosy Twistedstalk (S. lanceolatus) and Small Twistedstalk (S. streptopoides) by large size and branching stems.
Collections from throughout the region.
