	Adoxa Moschatellina ''Adoxa moschatellina'', the moschatel, five-faced bishop, hollowroot, muskroot, townhall clock, tuberous crowfoot or Good Friday plant, is a species of flowering plant in the family Adoxaceae. This herbaceous perennial has a holarctic distribution occurring at low altitudes in high latitudes, and at high altitudes in the south of its range. It prefers damp shady situations. Description ''Adoxa moschatellina'' is a rhizomatous plant growing in mats with a delicate appearance. It has thin, erect unbranched stems which end in clusters of five green flowers which are across. These flowers give the species one of its common names, "Town Hall clock", as they face outwards in four directions at 90 degrees to each other, resembling the four faces of a town clock. The flowers have five petals and five stamens, but the stamens are divided into two parts creating the impression that there are ten stamens. When it is not in flower it can be hard to tell ''A. moschatellina'' from other p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Adoxaceae Adoxaceae, commonly known as moschatel family, is a small family of flowering plants in the order Dipsacales, now consisting of five genera and about 150–200 species. They are characterised by opposite toothed leaves, small five- or, more rarely, four-petalled flowers in cymose inflorescences, and the fruit being a drupe. They are thus similar to many Cornaceae. In older classifications, this entire family was part of Caprifoliaceae, the honeysuckle family. ''Adoxa'' (moschatel) was the first plant to be moved to this new group. Much later, the genera ''Sambucus'' (elders) and ''Viburnum'' were added after careful morphological analysis and biochemical tests by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. An additional monotypic genus ''Sinadoxa'' has been added based on molecular comparison with ''Adoxa''. Recent sources, including the Angiosperm Phylogeny Website, treat this family as Viburnaceae Raf., ''nom. cons.'' ''Adoxa'' is a small perennial herbaceous plant, flowering early in ...
