No flowers, no fruit to help us out, though the leaves might be enough for ornamental plant lovers. I had a first impression on a Ruscus / Ruscaceae, but a quick internet image search did not matched anything really good.
The leaves were very thin, smooth and delicate. The plant was multi-branched that you cannot distinguish any main stem (thus looked like a small bush). I also noted curved pale-green tiny appendages under the leaf petiole (=stipules ?) This gave me the impression of some sort of gracile Asparagaceae, but again nothing good was found.
Any idea ?

Great sigra - many thanks and yes, it should be that Genus from what I've seen on the net. So it was a Ruscaceae as one of my suspects ! The names given to Polygonatum multiflorum are Solomon's-seal, David's-harp, Ladder-to-heaven - quite nice, bounty names.
The Polygonatum has a good similarity to my specimen, but I must say that it is Aspargus asparagoides. One feature is the alternate leaves (compared to opposite in Polygonatum). The Genera I suspected in wher quite close...
