Symplocarpus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to United States, Canada and eastern Asia.[2][3] The genus is characterized by having large leaves and deep root systems with contractile roots used for changing the plant's level with the ground. Symplocarpus species grow from a rhizome and their leaves release a foul odor when crushed.[4][5][6]

The best known species is Symplocarpus foetidus, commonly called "skunk cabbage".[4]
