Family: Aristolochiaceae
Origin/Distribution: eastern North America From Quebec and New Brunswick to Ontario and Minnesota south to Florida and Louisiana, native to Maine
Habitat: shady moist woods and woodland slopes, deciduous understory
More: Wild ginger holds its foliage well through the summer so it's a good companion for spring ephemerals. It has the ability to shade out some invasive like Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata). A potential colony-former with velvety, kidney-shaped leaves. The seeds are distributed by ants and it also spreads by rhizome, Deer resistant. The root has been used medicinally, and the plant contains the anti-tumor compound aristolochic acid. However, some sources say it has potentially carcinogenic properties as well. The roots have also been used as a spice, mostly to mask the muddy flavors of certain fish or make meats palatable/digestible.
