Amorphophallus Titanum

That right there is someone's idea of a scientific name. I'm either getting smarter or the namers are getting dumber. I remember when I could hardly pronounce the things: Enchilada Arachnida detrathopalas. That one's made up but it used to be that bad.

Amophallus Titanum'sa good, solid name! This flower's real name is "corpse flower".Yep, there are flowers out there named after dead bodies. I hear it's the biggest flower in the world. Wonder why they called it a corpse flower? No, it does not look like a spread out dead body at night... No, it doesn't grow on abandoned bodies, or graves, or crypts or whatever you're thinking.

Here's a hint: It emits chemicals with names like Cadavarene and putricine.
