Not all that different from my first reporting on SC, but Phil from Perils of Caffeine in the Evening kindly uploaded a picture of Skunk Cabbage on this page, and I felt compelled to follow up on this. The picture he took was clearly different from what we, the Northeasterners, know as Skunk Cabbage. Further research (well, just one click) revealed that the Westerners and Easterners refer to two completley different genera of plants as Skunk Cabbage! (Ay, there is the Continental divide.) I would not have known this if it weren't for Phil, for none of my Northeastern plant ID books mention it. He might have saved me from a terrible embarrassment at an American Skunk Cabbage Association conference.
