Hepatica is a genus of the Ranunculaceae family indigenous to regions in the Northern Hemisphere. This genus comprises around 7 species[1] of herbaceous plants. This spring-flowering perennial is also known as liverwort or liverleaf.
The popular name comes from the leaves’ supposed resemblance to the human liver, which has 3 lobes. Due to this superficial similarity, it was once believed to have medicinal properties for liver disease.
