2007 年 4 月 28 日，位于新泽西州普林斯顿的约翰·惠特尔斯普恩森林公园附近小溪边的臭草叶片开放。照片中展现了野生茅膏草（Symplocarpus foetidus）在小溪附近北门附近的河岸上新开的叶片，这种植物原产于东北美洲，喜欢潮湿的环境。照片中，大型绿色的心形叶片上覆盖着水珠，在阳光下闪闪发亮。它们形成伞状蔽日可夫斯基 (umbrella-like canopy)，将小植物的茎隐藏起来。绿叶的颜色与周围植物的深色形成鲜明对比。野生臭草是整个流域内溪河和小溪附近常见的景象，但由于它们大且隐蔽性强，可能很难看到。这种植物还以其独特的外观闻名，庞大的伞状叶片让人印象深刻。. – Chinese translation
