Disporum viridescens is a species of flowering plant in the genus Disporum. Like other species in the genus, it grows from a rhizome. The plant is 30 to 80 cm tall, with a stem that may branch. The leaves are more-or-less ovate in shape with a very short petiole (stalk). One or two open flowers are borne at the ends of stems; they have greenish white tepals which are 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowering is in late spring to early summer (May to June in the northern hemisphere). Black berries around 1 cm in diameter appear a few months later.
Plants grow in woodland or on grassy slopes at altitudes up to 600 m in northeastern China, eastern Russia, Japan and Korea.
