Pulling up a Sauromatum venosum
Sauromatum venosum is a stunning Aroid with a distinctive inflorescence
Sauromatum venosum is a species of plant in the arum family Araceae. It is native to Asia and Africa, where it grows in forests and riparian meadows. This species grows from a tuber, producing an inflorescence with a yellowish spathe covered in large purple spots and a purple spadix. The green leaf appears after the inflorescence develops.
It has 9 to 11 leaflets each up to 40 centimetres long borne on a tall petiole. The mature flowers emit an odour described as "putrid" and compared to rotting meat. The odour is attractive to insects such as flies, which pollinate the plant. Like some other aroids it is a thermogenic plant, generating its own heat.
It is grown as an ornamental plant. Its common names include voodoo lily and monarch of the East
