titanum: This was in May 2003 the largest scientifically documented inflorescence of the titan arum, flowering in the Botanic Gardens of the University of Bonn (Germany). titanum derives its name from Ancient Greek ( ἄμορφος amorphos, 'without form, misshapen' + φαλλός phallos, ' phallus', and Τιτάν Titan, 'titan, giant'). Those structures are also called columnar structures or crystals.Ī.

The titan arum's berries arrange in a regular cylindrical form that resembles the packing of spheres inside a cylindrical confinement. titanum is endemic to rainforests on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.ĭue to its odor, like that of a rotting corpse, the titan arum is characterized as a carrion flower, and is also known as the corpse flower or corpse plant ( Indonesian: bunga bangkai- bunga means flower, while bangkai can be translated as corpse, cadaver, or carrion). The inflorescence of the talipot palm, Corypha umbraculifera, is larger, but it is branched rather than unbranched. It has the largest unbranched inflorescence in the world. Amorphophallus titanum, the titan arum, is a flowering plant in the family Araceae.
