Saruma (Upright Wild Ginger)
The genus name Saruma is an intentional anagram of the genus asarum. Saruma is a monotypic (one species) genus whose lone member, Saruma henryi, was discovered in China in the early 1900s by Augustine Henry, an Irish plant explorer who spent 20 years collecting plants in China. Today, saruma is endangered in the wild and is nursery propagated for the ornamental plant industry.
