Amorphophallus titanum
''Amorphophallus titanum'' (from Ancient Greek ''amorphos'', "without form, misshapen" + ''phallos'', "phallus", and ''titan'', "giant"), known as the titan arum, is a flowering plant with the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The titan arum's inflorescence is not as large as that of the talipot palm, ''Corypha umbraculifera'', but the inflorescence of the talipot palm is branched rather than unbranched.
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'' ((インドネシア語:bunga bangkai) – ''bunga'' means flower, while ''bangkai'' can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion). For the same reason, the title ''corpse flower'' is also attributed to the genus ''Rafflesia'' which, like the titan arum, grows in the rainforests of Sumatra, Indonesia.
==Distribution==
''Amorphophallus titanum'' is native solely to western Sumatra, where it grows in openings in rainforests on limestone hills. The plant is cultivated by botanic gardens and private collectors around the world.
