Also known as "the corpse flower", the Amorphophallus titanum or titan arum as it is also known, is believed by many to be the smelliest plant on Earth. When it blooms, it releases an extremely foul odour comparable to that of rotten flesh that can be smelled half a mile away.
The titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum) aka the Corpse flower produces the largest bloom - that is, technically it is considered an 'inflorescence' (cluster of flowers).
NB: titan arum - not italicised, and lower case t.
