Endemic to the rainforests of Sumatra and possibly Borneo, the corpse flower is noted for producing the largest individual flower on Earth (measuring over 3 ft or 1 meter in diameter). Scientifically known as Rafflesia arnoldii, the plant produces a very strong odor of decaying flesh, thus the nickname.
