Also known as elephant ears yam, corpse lily, Amorphophallus rivieri and devil's tongue The flower grows on a single stalk, when it dies the single stalk leave will appear and when that dies a single stalk with many seeds going from green to orange will appear.

Habitat:

I found this growing on our property in Luzviminda, Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Notes:

I found many beetles inside the flower which it uses to pollinate itself with. Some say it stinks but I didn't smell anything.
