Helicodiceros muscivorus (Dead horse arum lily; syn.Helicodiceros crinitus[1], Dracunculus crinitus[2]) is an ornamental plant native to the northwestern Mediterranean region. It reproduces the stench of rotting meat, attracting carrion-seeking blowflies which act as pollinators.
One of a rare group of thermogenic plants, the Dead Horse Arum can raise its temperature by thermogenesis. This helps to lure flies into the plant to contact its pollen.[3]
