Asarum caudatum

Asarum caudatum

I'm on vacation, so only a short written accompaniment today. – Daniel

Asarum caudatum, or wild ginger, is distributed in western North America, from northern California to British Columbia and east to Montana. Read more on its ethnobotany via the Washington State Department of Transportation (!).
