Re Saruma, I found this quite interesting…the part about the anagram… “This plant is somewhat similar in foliage appearance to the wild gingers (Asarum) native to North America, Europe and Asia (Saruma is an anagram of Asarum), but differs by being slightly larger, more upright and bearing showy unconcealed flowers.” Auralie, Has it multiplied well for you?

Subject: Re: [CHAT] Jesse Bell That's it! Thank you so much. It is a most satisfactory plant for me - don't know why I couldn't remember the name - old age I guess. In a message dated 6/3/2017 2:51:19 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, 1*@rewrite.hort.net writes: RE: Could it be Saruma henryi
Chris, I sometimes miss your postings because of your reverse format. So I didn't see this at first. I knew my mention of Stylophorum couldn't be right (leaves wrong) but I just took a stab at it.
The Saruma looks lovely; I can see why Auralie likes it. I'd like to try it myself sometime, though at his point, can't. I lost almost all of my shade last fall and I'm scrambling to protect what I have.

Hi Auralie,
I'm sorry about your hip! I hope things get better for you and that teenager shows up.

Could it be Saruma henryi?

If so, I'm jealous. I tried growing it here, but it never seemed to thrive. I could never get more than a couple of years out of a plant.
