What's the botanical name for the lilly that is all black, blooms one day a year & smells like rotting flesh?

It is not the one that grows several feet tall. It is only a few inches in size. The plant itself only grows a couple of feet tall.

I can only find the ones that are larger like everyone else who has answered previous to me, sorry but very interesting to try and locate them, there are heaps of smelly plants like the carion flower but this is flesh coloured. There is the Stapelia asterias var. lucida but this is more of a dark red.....check out the email address below for heaps of the smelly little darlings.
Reply:Just a thought, Maybe the Stapelia one was the flower and this one hadn't reached maturity and because of the climate it was a different color? Report It
Reply:Amorphophallus titanum (titan arum)
Reply:The corpse flower Amorphophallus titanum





ah I stand corrected: Rafflesia arnoldii
