Typhonium venosum)[1] is a species of plant in the arum family, Araceae.

It is native to Asia and Africa, where it grows in forests and riparian meadows.

[1] Its common names include voodoo lily and monarch of the East[2] This species grows from a corm, producing an inflorescence with a yellowish spathe covered in large purple spots and a purple spadix.

The mature flowers emit an odor described as "putrid" and compared to rotting meat.

The Missouri Botanical Garden suggests growing it far away from windows and walkways "where the brief but overpowering odor from the spadices will be found objectionable".
