	Hiker's Notebook: Wild Ginger
		Wild Ginger is a member of the Birthwort Family (Aristolochiaceae), which consists of 6 genera and 400 species generally characterized by heart shaped leaves and often with relatively large, carrion-scented flowers that are radially symmetrical.
		The common name of the family is a derivation of the Latin name, which is taken from the Greek aristo meaning "best" and locheia meaning "childbirth." Birthwort employs the Old English suffix "wort" for any plant that had herbal properties.
		European Wild Ginger was highly regarded by the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans for its medicinal qualities, especially for the application for which the name birthwort was applied; it was employed to assist a woman in the postpartum discharge of the placenta.

	Diana (mythology) Summary
		At Aricia, votive objects have been discovered that take the form of vulvas and phalluses.
		Syncretism progressively altered the Latin goddess to the point of conferring various features of the Greek goddess upon her beyond her lunar function; thus she became a midwife like Artemis Locheia, a huntress-goddess, and, as Diana Trivia, a goddess of crossroads, after the example of Hekate Trioditis.
		By the time of Augustus, the absorption of Diana by Artemis was virtually complete, as can be seen in the Carmen saeculare of Horace.
