Each flower is synonymous with the word beautiful and fragrant. But another with this one flower, he is beautiful but not with the word fragrant but the stench.
These flowers include the carcass flower or by other names Amorphophallus titanum/titan arum. Carrion flower (Amorphophallus titanum) is generally a typical lowland plant that grows in tropical and subtropical climates ranging from the west African region to the Pacific Islands, including in Indonesia. Flowers/titan arum can be found in tropical forest habitat in Sumatra, especially at altitudes between 120 and 365 meters above sea level.
The carcass flower undergoes two phases in life that appear alternately and continuously, ie vegetative (asexual) and generative (sexual) phases. During the vegetative phase, on top of the bulbs will appear a single stem and leaves that are as a whole and at first glance similar to papaya trees. Carrion flowers can reach a height of about 2 meters with a crown ranges of 1-5 meters.
This flower is also threatened by the population (human) population, the population of wild carcasses has diminished because of its natural habitat has undergone much conversion to agriculture, plantation and settlement. Other causes are people who feel threatened by the smell of rotten flowers, then cut the flowers and leaves.
