Maianthemum purpureum

Yet another plant featured recently that lacks an English common name, Maianthemum purpureum is native to the Himalayas (see Flora of China account). The genus is widespread throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, but also has some subtropical montane representatives in both southeast Asia and Central America (from the description of the genus in this paper).

Photography resource link: The Gorgeous Inside Stories of Metal by Ivan Amato displays the art of metallography while interpreting the geometric shapes through small stories.

The photo you have as Maianthemum purpureum is M. oleraceum, but surely you know that by now?
