''Symplocarpus foetidus'', commonly known as skunk cabbage or eastern skunk cabbage (also swamp cabbage, clumpfoot cabbage, or meadow cabbage, foetid pothos or polecat weed), is a low growing plant that grows in wetlands and moist hill slopes of eastern North America. Bruised leaves present an odor reminiscent of skunk. ''Symplocarpus'' combines the Greek word ''symploce'', meaning "connection" and ''carpos'', meaning "fruit", to indicate that the plant has a compound fruit. The genus name ''Symplocarpus'' combines two Greek words: ''Symplo-'' is derived from υμπλoκή meaning connection, ''-carpus'' is derived from αρπòς meaning fruit.
