Hexastylis or heartleaf is a genus of ten species in the family Aristolochiaceae, which is endemic to North America. It is a perennial, evergreen, herbaceous plant with leaves and flowers arising directly from the rhizomes. The genus name comes from the ancient Greek word "hexastylis" meaning with six styles. This genus is closely related to the Asian genera "Heterotropa" and "Asiasarum" and all three genera are sometimes included in "Asarum". .
