Most of the wild Asarum is a small handful of more than ten trees, often rolled into a mass. The rhizome is irregularly cylindrical, long 1~10cm, with short branches, gray-brown surface, rough annular nodes, internode spacing about 2~3mm, and bowl-shaped stem scars at the top of the branches. Roots slender, dense at nodes, ca. 1mm in diam., long 10~20cm, surface grayish yellow, smooth or finely longitudinal

Asarum commodities are mostly divided into Liao Asarum and Chinese Asarum, Liao Asarum produced in the northeast of the North Asarum and Seoul Asarum, the two characters are similar, but there are wild cultivated products.

Most of the wild Asarum is a small handful of more than ten trees, often rolled into a mass. The rhizome is irregularly cylindrical, long 1~10cm, with short branches, gray-brown surface, rough annular nodes, internode spacing about 2~3mm, and bowl-shaped stem scars at the top of the branches. The root is slender, dense nodes, about 1mm in diameter, long 10~20cm, the surface is grayish yellow, smooth or with fine longitudinal wrinkles. Crisp, easy to break, yellow and white cross section. There are 1-3 leaves on the rhizome; the leaves are long stalked, the stalks are longitudinally striated, and the leaves are broken. Complete leaf blade cordate to reniform-cordate, long 4~10cm, wide 6~12cm, entire, apex short acute or obtuse, base deep cordate, surface light green, sometimes visible flowers or fruit, flowers mostly wrinkled, dark purple, bell-shaped, capsule hemispherical. The breath is spicy, spicy and tongue numb.

The rhizome of cultivated Asarum is much branched, long 5~15cm, diameter 0.2~0.6cm, whisker root length 15~40cm, diameter 0.1~0.2cm (thicker than wild products, commonly known as "hair thick"). There are a lot of leaves. The smell is slightly lighter than that of wild products.

The shape of Asarum chinense is similar to that of Asarum chinensis, but the rhizome is longer than Asarum norvegicum, its 5~20cm is longer, its diameter is 0.1~0.2cm, and its Internode is about 1mm to 10mm. The basal leaves are 1mm to 10mm, and the leaves are heart-shaped, apex acuminate. It is thin and fragile. The fruit is nearly spherical. The aroma and spicy aroma are weaker than those of Asarum chinense.

Seoul Asarum is similar to North Asarum, but its Internode length is 0.1~1cm, with 2 basal leaves, hairy petiole and thick leaves.
