Botanist Greg Wahlert and <I>Amorphophallus perrieri</I> (IMAGE)
Caption
University of Utah botanist Greg Wahlert stands next to a new plant species he discovered -- Amorphophallus perrieri -- as it was starting to bloom on Feb. 2. A day later, the 4.5-foot-tall plant, began stinking like roadkill, just like its bigger and more famous, 20-foot-tall relative, Amorphophallus titanum, also known as the "corpse flower."
