| The freakish-looking Amorphophallus titanum, known to Indonesians
as the ``corpse flower,'' was beginning to bloom, said library
spokeswoman Susan Turner-Lowe. First discovered by Italian botanist Odoardo Beccari in Sumatra in
1878, the Titan Arum, or Amorphophallus titanum, is a member of the
Family Araceae, the Aroids or Arum plants. The Amorphophallus titanum, known to Indonesians as the ``corpse
flower,'' exudes an odor that some say is like garbage or
rotting flesh. |
