Asarum caudatum (British Columbia wild ginger, western wild ginger, or long-tailed wild ginger) is a native perennial of forests of North America (USA and Canada). It has evergreen foliage, with flowers that develop from March to August. The flowers are distinct, hirsute (hairy), cup-shaped, and brown-purple to green-yellow. The long rhizomes give rise to persistent reniform (kidney/heart shaped) leaves. Leaves are found in colonies or clusters as the rhizome spreads, forming mats. The leaves emit a ginger aroma when rubbed.
