"Pyrola asarifolia", commonly known as Bog Wintergreen, Liverleaf Wintergreen or Pink Wintergreen, is a plant species of the genus "Pyrola" native to western North America.

It is so named simply because its leaves maintain their green color through winter. The flower stalk stands 10-20 cm high, and holds about a dozen drooping pinkish bell-shaped flowers. The leaves themselves cluster around the base, and are round and smooth green.

It is found primarily on forest margins at mid latitude in the Pacific Northwest. Cultivation is extremely difficult if not impossible due to sensitive mycorhizzal associations. However, this plant is used as an ornamental plant.
