Amorphophallus gigas is a plant in the Arum, or Calla Lily, Family, (Araceae) native to Sumatra.[1] [2] It is also known as Amorphophallus brooksii. It resembles its near relative Amorphophallus titanum in having a very large spadix surrounded by a very large spathe. In both species the inflorescence can be up to 11 ft 4 in (3.4 meters) in height, has the smell of rotting flesh, and is fly pollinated. According to Bown, the record specimen was 4.36 meters (14 feet) in height, of which 1.5 meters (five feet) was the spadix.[3] The tuber, a corm, is second in size only to A. titanum at up to 70 kilograms (154 pounds) in weight.[4]
