World's Ugliest Plants


With names like Elephant Trunk, Monkey Cups and BirthWorts, what would you expect? Something pleasing to the eye? Of course not. It is known to be the largest unbranced, infloresent, single flower in the world.This flower is called the Carrion Flower better known as the Corpse Flower. It can reach up to 10ft in circumfrance. But due to it's fragrance, which is reminiscent of the smell of decomposing mammal, it's known as the World's Ugliest Flower. Not only is it ugly, but it's smelly. Poor flower!
