Best Answer

There is more than one plant called the Corpse lily or Corpse flower, which is the main drawback of using common names; scientific names avoid mix ups.

The above answer is correct.

There is also Rafflesia arnoldii from the forests of Borneo.

A number of these foul smelling plants exist as they are pollinated by flies, hence the attractive smell.

The Amorphophallus titanium or corpse flower comes from the rain forests of Sumatra. However some very large ones have been grown at various botanic gardens. The Chicago Botanic Gardens recently had one bloom.

What is the 'corpse flower' of Indonesia in Latin?

Rafflesia arnoldii is the Latin name of the 'corpse flower' of Indonesia. Another one of its common names is 'giant corpse flower'. It's called 'giant' because the plant produces the world's largest individual flower. The flower's mature diameter is 1 meter [3 feet]. Its mature weight is 11 kilograms [24 pounds]. It's called 'corpse flower' because of the flower's rotting odor. The odor is a deliberate choice, in order to attract pollinating flies.
