Summary

Description

From Wikipedia - Paris is a genus of flowering plants in the family Melanthiaceae, described by Linnaeus in 1753. It is widespread across Europe and Asia, with a centre of diversity in China.

A recent analysis places the genera Daiswa and Kinugasa in Paris, though the actual circumscription of the genus is debated.

It consists of less than two dozen herbaceous plants: the best known species is Paris quadrifolia. Some Paris species are used in traditional Chinese medicine for their analgesic and anticoagulant properties, most notably as an ingredient of Yunnan Baiyao. Intense ethnopharmaceutical interest has significantly reduced their numbers.

These plants are closely related to Trillium, with the distinction traditionally being that Trillium contains species which have trimerous (three-petaled) flowers, and Paris contains species which have 4- to 11-merous flowers.
