Lysichiton americanus, or yellow skunk cabbage in the Jungle Garden on Garnish Island or Ilnaculin, Co. Cork, Ireland. Yellow skunk cabbage is a plant found in swamps and wet woods, along streams and in other wet areas of the Pacific Northwest, where it is one of the few native species in the arum family. The plant is called skunk cabbage because of the distinctive "skunky" odor that it emits when it blooms. The Gardens on Garnish Island are the result of the creative partnership of Annan Bryce and Harold Peto, architect and garden designer. The island was bequeathed to the Irish people in 1953, and was subsequently entrusted to the care of the Commissioners of Public Works. The alternative names Ilnacullin, or Illaunacullin ( island of holly ) and Garinish, also have a long history in the locality, and appear in early maps.
