attached pics of Amorphophallus commutatus.
pic taken at Conservation Education Centre, Forest near film city, Goregaon East, Mumbai on 11th June 2009.
common English name : Dragon stalk yam
local marathi name : Shevla ( Maharashtrians make lovely vegetable of the flower.)
This flower appears just before the onset of the monsoon. leaves appear with the rains. The pic is not of a fresh flower, that is why it is drooping.
cheers,
shubhada

Nice pix Shubhada. This is the same genus as Titan Arum, a genus of about 170 sps from Arum family, Araceae.
Amorphophallus titanum : Titan Arum, (largest flower structure on earth). The flower is more than 2.5 m high, about 3.25 m in circumference, diameter of about 1 metre and smells of rotten flesh. More on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_arum.
