The species name cyanocarpa comes from the Greek words kyanos (blue) and karpos (fruit), referring to the blue fruits of this plant.
Drymophila cyanocarpa, also known as turquoise berry or native Solomon's seal, is a flowering plant native to Australia. It is a perennial herb that grows up to 50cm tall and has dark green leaves and creamy white flowers. Its distinctive feature is its turquoise-blue oblong or heart-shaped fruits, which give the plant its species name. It is found in wet eucalypt forests in Tasmania, Victoria, and New South Wales, and is easily identifiable due to its unique appearance. It was first described by Scottish botanist Robert Brown in 1810 and has since been classified in the family Alstroemeriaceae. The name Drymophila likely refers to the sea-nymph Drymo from Greek mythology, and the species name cyanocarpa means "blue fruit" in Greek.
