Panax Americanus Var. Obovatus

Panax americanus var. obovatus is a lesser-known species of ginseng native to the eastern United States. This variant is distinguished by its broad, ovate leaves and unique root structure. While it shares some characteristics with the more famous Panax quinquefolius, it has distinct botanical traits. Due to its rarity and ecological significance, it is often overlooked in favor of more commercially popular ginseng varieties. Conservation efforts are increasingly important to protect this plant from habitat loss and overharvesting.
