Asarum minus, the little heartleaf or little brown jug, is a species of flowering plant in the Aristolochiaceae family.

Asarum minus is a low-growing, stemless perennial.

The leaves are long-petioled, heart- to kidney-shaped, 1.5-3 inches long, variegated, evergreen-leathery, and emit a spicy smell when torn.

Flowers are firm and fleshy and have a weak bell shape that flares out into three triangular, white-mottled lobes.

[2] Asarum minus is endemic to the piedmont region, coastal plains, and mountains of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
