The Chinese name for "尸花" is "Titan Arum Flower." In English, it is called "Titan Arum," also known as "Corpse Flower" or "Stinky Plant." It is located in a botanical garden in San Marino, California. Since this flower emits a nauseating odor similar to that of decaying flesh when it fully blooms, it gets its name. According to records, the "Corpse Flower" is native to the tropical rainforests of Sumatra.
