This is wild ginger (Asarum canadense). It's a common thing to find in Indiana woodlands. It is growing in the Horticulture Gardens by the sidewalk approaching the greenhouse building entrance. Look under the leaves to find the odd brown flowers close to the ground. The flowers are that way because they are meant to be pollinated by insects crawling to the flowers.
