What is this plant called ? ==> Amorph. konjac

Can anyone tell me what this plant is called, it grows in my sisters garden ad smells like rotten meat. I do not think that it is native to the UK. :-()

It is in the genus amorphophallus, meaning penis shaped. I think maybe amorphophallus konjac:

A tropical, definitely not native to the UK

aka devil's tongue, voodoo lily, snake palm.

Here's the wiki article about it:
