It blooms for just 2-3 days every 2-3 years, depending on its energy reserve. The flower emits a foul odor resembling rotting flesh to attract pollinators like carrion beetles and flies. After pollination, it produces around 400 reddish-orange fruits with two seeds each. It is listed as "Endangered" with fewer than 1,000 plants in the wild.
