Skunk cabbage is a native American perennial plant, to be found in the swamps of eastern North America, as far west as Manitoba and Iowa. The large, tuberous rootstock produces fleshy roots and heart-shaped, cabbage-like leaves on thick leaf-stalks. Numerous small, purple flowers grow on a small, oval, fleshy spike or spadix, covered by a purple and yellowish-green, hoodlike brack or spathe. Flowering time is from February to April, before the leaves appear. The whole plant emits a skunk or garlic odor.
