1. Amorphophallus titanum

   Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is a flowering plant in the family Araceae. It has the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. The inflorescence of the talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, is larger, but it is branched rather than unbranched. A. titanum is endemic to rainforests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Due to its odor, like that of a rotting corpse, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the corpse flower or corpse plant (Indonesian: bunga bangkai—bunga means flower, while bangkai can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion). The titan arum's berries arrange in a regular cylindrical form that resembles the packing of spheres inside a cylindrical confinement. Those structures are also called columnar structures or crystals.

1. amorphophallus titanum

   Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the titan arum or the "corpse flower," is a flowering plant species in the family Araceae. It is native to western Sumatra and western Java in Indonesia, where it grows in openings in rainforests on limestone hills. The plant has a single large inflorescence that can reach over 3 meters (10 ft) in height. This inflorescence bears a large, meat-colored and textured spadix, surrounded by a large, vase-like spathe. It is most famous for its foul odor, similar to the smell of a rotting animal, which it releases during bloom to attract pollinators.

1. Amorphophallus titanum

   Amorphophallus titanum, 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 reminiscent of the smell of a decomposing mammal, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the "corpse flower", or "corpse plant". 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.
