Known as the "Corpse Flowers", or "bunga bangkai" in Indonesian, perhaps the rafflesia and the titan arum are the most well-known flowers in the tropical rainforest. 

 

These flowers with strong odor belong to the family of parasitic flowering plants. The rafflesia can reach up to 1 metre in diameter and weigh 10 kilograms, making it the world's largest flower. It can be found in the Southeast Asia includes Sumatra in Indonesia, Borneo and some areas of the Philippies. Yet, the world's tallest flower, titan arum, is native to the tropical rainforest in Sumatra only. It can reach heights of 3 metres and weigh as much as 70 kilograms.
