This one goes out to lietya, for reasons.
The name "wintergreen" is applied to a variety of plants, because once upon a time it just meant "plants that stay green in winter." These days, many of those plants are called "evergreen" instead. One set of these plants, although sadly not the ones that produce the wintergreen flavor (methyl salicylate) are in the genus Pyrola, "commonly" called shinleaf.
As opposed to widdershins....
