Skunk (cannabis)
''Cannabis'' strains are either pure or hybrid varieties of the plant genus ''Cannabis'', which encompasses the species '' C. sativa'', '' C. indica'', and '' C. ruderalis''. Varieties are developed to intensify specific characteristics of the plant, or to differentiate the strain for the purposes of marketing or to make it more effective as a drug. Variety names are typically chosen by their growers, and often reflect properties of the plant such as taste, color, smell, or the origin of the variety. The ''Cannabis'' strains referred to in this article are primarily those varieties with recreational and medicinal use. These varieties have been cultivated to contain a high percentage of cannabinoids. Several varieties of ''cannabis'', known as hemp, have a very low cannabinoid content, and are instead grown for their fiber and seed.

Symplocarpus Foetidus
''Symplocarpus foetidus'', commonly known as skunk cabbage or eastern skunk cabbage (also swamp cabbage, clumpfoot cabbage, or meadow cabbage, foetid pothos or polecat weed), is a low growing plant that grows in wetlands and moist hill slopes of eastern North America. Bruised leaves present an odor reminiscent of skunk. ''Symplocarpus'' combines the Greek word ''symploce'', meaning "connection" and ''carpos'', meaning "fruit", to indicate that the plant has a compound fruit. The genus name ''Symplocarpus'' combines two Greek words: ''Symplo-'' is derived from �υμπλoκή meaning connection, ''-carpus'' is derived from �αρπòς meaning fruit. Linnaeus gave the plant its species name of ''foetidus,'' Latin for "bad-smelling". The plant produces a strong odor, which is repulsive to many but sometimes described as smelling like "fresh cabbage with a slight suggestion of mustard". The odor increases in intensity over time, as the plant matures, likely due to increased ...
