|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Hexastylis virginica</i> with small, cylindric-urceolate calices have been treated as a distinct species, H. memmingeri. The two calyx types are often found in the same population, however, so H. memmingeri seems unworthy of taxonomic recognition at any rank.</p><!--
--><p>Prior to the study by H. L. Blomquist (1957), many botanists interpreted <i>Hexastylis virginica</i> in a very broad sense, so old herbarium specimens of many other species of <i>Hexastylis</i> are often annotated as <i>H. virginica</i>.</p><!--
--><p>The Cherokee used <i>Hexastylis virginica</i> medicinally to stop blood from passing (D. E. Moerman 1986, as <i>Asarum</i> virginicum).</p>
