| Notes: | Label source: Selected specimens of Southern crude drugs, Wallace Bros - Statesville N.C. Skunk Cabbage - The root of Dracontium foetidum - Ictodes foetidus (Bigelow) S.foetidus (Barton Med Bot) US. Botanists have had some difficultly in arranging this, plant. It was attached by Milldenow (sp?) to the genus Dracontium by Michause & Purch was consis Detodes (sp?) expressive of the odour of the plant. The term Symplocarpus though erroneous in its origin was first proposed and having been adopted by sever, al botanists should be retained. S.foetidus Nutt. (Kew Index) | ||||
