Perennial Honesty, (Lunaria rediviva) is a tall (height about 1 m), hairy-stemmed perennial found throughout Europe in damp woods, and on lime. It has large, pointed oval leaves with marked serrations. The common name "Honesty" arose in the sixteenth century, and it may be due to the translucent seed-pods which are like flattened pea-pods and borne on the plant through winter.

See also Annual honesty (Lunaria annua).
