Pachysandra terminalis, commonly known as Japanese Spurge or simply Pachysandra, is a perennial evergreen ground cover plant that belongs to the boxwood family (Buxaceae). It is native to Japan and China and is widely used in landscaping and gardening for its attractive foliage and ability to form dense mats that suppress weeds.

During late winter to early spring, Pachysandra terminalis produces small, white, fragrant flowers on short spikes that rise above the foliage. The flowers are unisex and can be either male or female, though they are usually inconspicuous. The fruit that follows is a small, rounded, fleshy capsule containing seeds.

Pachysandra terminalis is a shade-loving plant and thrives in moist, well-drained soils. It is often used as a ground cover in shady areas where other plants may struggle to grow, such as under trees or along the edges of woodland gardens. It forms dense, weed-smothering mats that help to prevent erosion and inhibit the growth of other plants. It is a slow-growing plant and generally low-maintenance, requiring minimal care once established.

Overall, Pachysandra terminalis is a popular and versatile ground cover plant that adds year-round greenery to shady areas and provides an attractive, low-maintenance option for landscaping and gardening projects.
