| "When bruised or broken, all parts of Symplocarpus foetidus give off an unpleasant odor... Symplocarpus foetidus, in various forms and often combined with other plants, was used medicinally by Nnative Americans for a variety of ailments, including swellings, coughs, consumption, rheumatism, wounds, convulsions, cramps, hemorrhages, toothaches, and headaches (D. E. Moerman 1986). Skunk cabbage was officially listed as the drug "dracontium" in the U. S. Pharmacopoeia from 1820 to 1880 for treating diseases of respiratory organs, nervous disorders, rheumatism, and dropsy (A. Henkel 1907). Plants are sparingly cultivated as a curiosity in North American gardens and are reported to be highly prized in aquatic gardens in European estates and public parks (F. W. Case 1992)." \\ | "When bruised or broken, all parts of Symplocarpus foetidus give off an unpleasant odor...

| | "Eastern skunk cabbage has contractile roots which contract after growing into the earth. This pulls the stem of the plant deeper into the mud, so that the plant in effect grows downward, not upward. Each year, the plant grows deeper into the earth, so that older plants are practically impossible to dig up. They reproduce by hard, pea-sized seeds which fall in the mud and are carried away by animals or by floods." [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus]] |

| Soon after snow melts in erarly spring, when air temperatures are often below freezing, the inflorescense of this species developes above ground. An increase of the respiration rate results in heat production of the spadices. \\ | Soon after snow melts in erarly spring, when air temperatures are often below freezing, the inflorescense of this species developes above ground.
