STINK BELL Meaning and
Definition
-
"Stink bell" is a slang term used to refer to the flower of a type of plant known as the Arum maculatum, which is also commonly called "cuckoo pint" or "lords and ladies." This plant belongs to the family Araceae and is native to Europe and western Asia.
The stink bell gets its name from the foul odor it produces. The flower emits a distinctive pungent scent that resembles rotting meat, which attracts flies and carrion beetles for pollination. This odor is mainly released during the flowering phase of the plant's reproductive cycle to ensure successful pollination. The smell may be described as unpleasant or offensive to human senses.
In terms of appearance, the stink bell consists of a purple or green spadix (a fleshy spike-shaped structure) covered by a hood-like spathe. The spathe is usually greenish-yellow or purple with dark spots. The plant also has arrow-shaped leaves, which appear after the flower has bloomed.
Stink bells are often found in woodland areas, hedgerows, and damp environments. While the term "stink bell" may not be commonly used within scientific or botanical contexts, it has emerged as a colloquial term to describe this particular plant based on its distinct odor.
