Asarum maximum is a species of plant in the Aristolochiaceae family. It is endemic to China. The flowers have a distinct smell of mushrooms. Asarum as a genus is commonly known as wild ginger.
Asarum is distributed across the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere, with most species in East Asia (China, Japan, and Vietnam) and North America, and one species in Europe. Biogeographically, Asarum originated in Asia.
They have characteristic kidney-shaped leaves, growing from creeping rhizomes, and bear small, axillary, brown or reddish flowers.
The plant is called wild ginger because the rhizome tastes and smells similar to ginger root, but the two are not related. The FDA warns against consuming Asarum, as it is nephrotoxic and contains the potent carcinogen aristolochic acid. The Birthwort family also contains the genus Aristolochia, known for carcinogens.
Wild ginger prefers moist, shaded sites with humus-rich soil. The deciduous, heart-shaped leaves are opposite, and borne from the rhizome which lies just under the soil surface. Two leaves emerge each year from the growing tip. The curious jug-shaped flowers are borne singly in spring between the leaf bases.
Wild ginger can easily be grown in a shade garden, and makes an attractive ground cover.
