Titum Arum is known in Latin, it's an ancient, rather rare lily from the tropical Sumatran rain-forest. The Sumatrans have a more apt name for it - they call it the CORPSE FLOWER
Anyone who has had the misfortune to inhale the scent of the Titum Arum is not likely to ever forget it. The smell has been variously described by first hand sufferers as - sickening, revolting, putrid, nauseating, like a combination of dead fish, rats and other sundry rotting carcasses-i dont see this knoledge as being a metaphor for this song????????????
