Symplocarpus foetidus Nutt.var.latissimus (Makino) Hara
A perennial plant of the Araceae family (illustration) that blooms as the snow melts, surrounded by dark purple-brown spadix. The rhizome is thick, and the leaves grow from the top. The leaves consist of a petiole and a large, circular, cordate blade, but the leaf sheath commonly found in other Araceae plants is not differentiated. When the plant sprouts in spring, it produces an elliptical spadix surrounded by an egg-shaped spadix, usually dark purple-brown in color, but sometimes green. The flowers are bisexual, with four tepals and four stamens, and the ovary is locular and contains one ovule.
