When planting Asarum lemmonii today, I noticed that it truly does have a lemon-ginger scent if the leaves are bruised. It's a very attractive plant, with rounded, slightly spiraled semi-glossy green leaves. The flowers aren't worth the effort to find--odd little brown things at the base of the clump. I'll report back on hardiness as warranted.
