Default question about a berry plant from southern Ohio

Smilacina is now considered synonymous with Maianthemum.

I wondered about that, since false Solomon's seal was also listed under that
name. Thanks for the update. From looking at pictures of both species, I would
guess that the plant in question is Maianthemum racemosum, the feathery false
Solomon's seal.
