About
Asarum marmoratum is a species of flowering plant known by the common names marbled wild ginger and marble-leaf wild ginger. Despite its common name, the plant is not closely related to ginger, instead belonging to the birthwort family, Aristolochiaceae. It is a low-growing perennial plant with variegated evergreen leaves and inconspicuous flowers borne close to the ground. It is thought to reproduce primarily through self-pollination, but its flowers are also thought to mimic fungi to attract flies that facilitate pollination. The seeds contain fleshy tissues that attract ants to aid with dispersal.
