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.

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