*** CORPSE FLOWER ***
*** ORIGIN FROM BANGKAI FLOWER ***
The explorations that initially aimed to discover the new species of animals that had not been classified in the plant classification system in fact became the origin and history of the discovery of other peculiar flowers than the flowers in general. Flowers that we are currently familiar with the name of the carcass flower.
At the time of the journey into the forest of the Arnold entourage was confused with the stench that appeared on the sidelines of the bush (The forest is currently located in Manna, South Bengkulu Regency). How surprised the members of the group to know that the smell of rotting carcasses they smelled came from a large flower that was in bloom.
Once identified interest by Arnold Arnold named Arnoldi. The name was given to commemorate the services of the governor general Sir Stamford Raffles who had financed the expedition, as well as to commemorate his own name. However, the indigenous people who at that time participated in the entourage without difficulty, they gave the name of the flower is a carcass, in accordance with his trademark that did smell the carcass. Since then the carcass flowers became widely known among the world community. By the British and Dutch governments, this interest is then classified as a protected fauna. Until a few years later (exactly in 1992) by the government of Indonesia.
