Thousands of species that did not grow in the west in the Middle Ages are here now and many of them grow in the wild.
I've already said that Paris quadrifolia sometimes has 5 leaves (but not often). But P. quadrifolia does not have 10 (or even 8 or 7). The VMS plants are quite specific as to how the leaves are drawn. Even the margins of the leaves are correct for the ones that are recognizable.
