'''''Lysichiton''''', or '''''Lysichitum''''' is a [[genus]] in the family [[Araceae]]. It includes two species:
*''[[Lysichiton americanus]]'' - [[Western Skunk Cabbage]]. Western [[North America]].
*''[[Lysichiton camtschatcense]]'' - Asian Skunk Cabbage. Northeastern [[Asia]].
These two species were originally considered conspecific, under the earlier-described name ''L. camtschatcensis''. The genus name means "dissolve (''lysi-'') [[chiton]]". ''Chiton'' refers to the armour-like spathe enclosing the inflorescene that withers soon after flowering.
