Amorphophallus titanum
This flower was about 2m tall and is considered the flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world.
Sootted at Kebun Raya Cibodas, at the botanical area, Java, Amorphophallus titanum is native to western Sumatra, where it grows in openings in rainforests on limestone hills.
Due to its odor, which is like the smell of a rotting animal, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the corpse flower, or corpse plant.
