Definition
A genus of low-growing plants with heart-shaped leaves, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, traditionally used in herbal medicine and perfumery.
Etymology
From Greek 'asarum,' possibly derived from 'a-' (without) and 'seiromai' (to tie or bind), or from a Semitic language; the word has been used since ancient Greek times for this distinctive plant.
Kelly Says
Asarum is sometimes called 'wild ginger' because its roots smell like ginger, but it's not related at all—it's an example of how plants with similar smells get confused, leading to multiple common names for the same species.
