Pyrola Rotundifolia is a flowering plant also known as round-leaved wintergreen or broad-leaved wintergreen. The word "pyrola" originates from the Greek word "pyr" which means "fire," due to the belief that the plant helped to ignite one's passions. Its synonyms include Pyrola elliptica, Pyrola grandiflora and Pyrola picta. The plant is known for its medicinal properties and has been used traditionally as an astringent, antiseptic, and diuretic. Pyrola Rotundifolia is commonly found in cool, damp coniferous forests, bogs and woodland areas of the northern hemisphere. Its small, white to pinkish flowers and evergreen leaves make it a popular ornamental plant in gardens.
