1803 Hexastylis arifolia, or the little brown jug, is a perennial wildflower in the family Aristolochiaceae found in the southeastern United States, from Louisiana to Virginia, inland as far as Kentucky.

[2] It is considered a threatened species in Florida.

Hexastylis arifolia is an evergreen, perennial herb with no above-ground stems, spreading by means of underground rhizomes.

Small, scale-like leaves adhere to the underground rhizomes, while larger green, heart-shaped leaves emerge above ground.

Flowers are formed one at a time, on the ends of the rhizomes.
