wild ginger
Wild ginger is a term that refers to perennial herbs from the Aristolochiaceae family, often found in moist, wooded areas in North America and Asia. The term "wild ginger" often refers to two species: Asarum canadense and Asarum caudatum. Despite its name, it is not related to the common cooking ginger. It owes its name to the faintly ginger-like fragrance of its roots. This plant has large heart-shaped leaves, small cup-shaped purplish-brown flowers and is often used for ground cover or ornamental purposes. Native American cultures also traditionally used it for medicinal purposes.
