Although both the titan arum and rafflesia are known for their large and foul-smelling flowers, they are not the same plant. The titan arum, also known as the "corpse flower," produces the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world, while the rafflesia produces the largest individual flower. Additionally, they belong to different plant families, with the titan arum belonging to the Araceae family and the rafflesia belonging to the Rafflesiaceae family.
It is titan arum which grows up to 20m It is the Titan Arum.
The interesting thing about it is that it smells of rotten flesh!!! bleurgh!
No, the Titan Arum, also known as the corpse flower, is not a carnivorous plant. It is a flowering plant that attracts pollinators with its foul odor, which resembles that of rotting meat, hence the name "corpse flower".
The flower with the world's largest bloom is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds! It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It attaches itself to a host plant to obtain water and nutrients. When in bloom, the Rafflesia emits a repulsive odor, similar to that of rotting meat. This odor attracts insects that pollinate the plant. Another enormous flower found in Indonesia is the Amorphophallus titanum, or Titan arum. It is also known as the "corpse flower" for its unpleasant odor. Like the Rafflesia, the Titan emits the smell of rotting flesh to attract pollinators. Technically, the Titan arum is not a single flower. It is a cluster of many tiny flowers, called an inflorescence. The Titan arum has the largest unbranched inflorescence of all flowering plants. The plant can reach heights of 7 to 12 feet and weigh as much as 170 pounds!

An arum is a flower or plant in the genus Arum.
The Sardinian arum, or Arum idaeum, attracts its pollinators primarily through its unique floral structure and scent. It emits a strong, foul odor that mimics the smell of decaying organic matter, which lures insects such as flies and beetles. Once inside the flower, these pollinators are trapped temporarily, allowing them to transfer pollen from one bloom to another as they escape, thus facilitating reproduction. The plant's distinctive shape and warmth also help to enhance its appeal to these insects.
