Amorphophallus is a genus of flowering plants known for its large and unique inflorescences. These plants are native to tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in Southeast Asia. The most famous species, Amorphophallus titanum, is often called the "corpse flower" due to its strong odor resembling rotting flesh, which attracts pollinators like carrion beetles. The structure of Amorphophallus flowers is notable, featuring a tall spadix surrounded by a large spathe. These plants can grow to impressive heights, with some species reaching over 10 feet. They typically have a tuberous root system, allowing them to store energy and survive in varying environmental conditions.
