What's the botanical name for the lilly that is all black, blooms one day a year & smells like rotting flesh?

Question

It is not the one that grows several feet tall. It is only a few inches in size. The plant itself only grows a couple of feet tall.

My mother called it a Dead Horse lily. It was not as large as the one everyone is talking about and it is considered quite rare.
It was totally black except the stamen, which was orange or yellow, can't remember that as well as the black petals. It was beautiful but revolting to smell.
Already tried the site mentioned. It isn't in there.

Answer 1

I can only find the ones that are larger like everyone else who has answered previous to me, sorry but very interesting to try and locate them, there are heaps of smelly plants like the carion flower but this is flesh coloured. There is the Stapelia asterias var. lucida but this is more of a dark red.....check out the email address below for heaps of the smelly little darlings.
