Amorphophallus gigas is a plant in the Arum, or Calla Lily, Family, native to Sumatra. It is also known as Amorphophallus brooksii. It resembles its near relative Amorphophallus titanum in having a very large spadix surrounded by a very large spathe. In both species the inflorescence can be up to 11 ft 4 in in height, has the smell of rotting flesh, and is fly pollinated. According to Bown, the record specimen was 4.36 meters in height, of which 1.5 meters was the spadix. The tuber, a corm, is second in size only to A. titanum at up to 70 kilograms in weight.
