Jack-in-the-pulpit is a member of the same family the Skunk Cabbage (the Arum Family). It grows to a height of two or three feet and you can find beautiful speciments on Chemin du Club during the month of June and July.
The hood forms the famous "pulpit" while inside you will find the "pencil-shaped" flower-bearing stalk which represents the Reverend Jack at his prayer. Eventually the pulpit drops its leaves and a cluster of red berries appear on top of the stalk.
The plant is also called Indian Turnip. The reason being that the turnip-shaped root, after much boiling was eaten by the aboriginals.
