Lysichiton
''Lysichiton'' is a genus in the family Araceae. These plants are known commonly as skunk cabbage or less often as swamp lantern.〔 The spelling ''Lysichitum'' is also found. The genus has two species, one found in north-east Asia (Japan and Russian Far East), the other in north-west America (Aleutians to Santa Cruz County in California).〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Biota of North America Program county distribution map )〕
==Description==
''Lysichiton'' has flowers which are typical of those of the family to which it belongs (the arum family or Araceae). The individual flowers are small and are tightly packed on a fleshy stem called a ''spadix'' which is surrounded by a white or yellow but otherwise leaf-like bract called a ''spathe''. The spathe is hooded or boat-shaped at the top. ''Lysichiton'' has flowers with both male and female parts present (bisexual), unlike many other aroids. After fertilization, the green fruits become embedded in the spadix; each fruit usually has two seeds but may have up to four. Several large leaves appear either just before flowering or soon afterwards; each has a short stalk (petiole). Plants die down to a vertical rhizome in winter.〔, in 〕
