Anglepod is a deciduous perennial vine native to the southeastern United States. Unlike most flowers, it primarily attracts flies due to the carrion scent of its flowers and is pollinated by flies. Anglepod leaves have been described as giving off a rotten peanut butter smell, while the flowers produce a mild carrion scent. Anglepod can climb up to 10 ft and prefers moist, well-drained soil; it does not tolerate flooded or waterlogged soil. Anglepod is in the milkweed family and can serve as a host plant for monarch butterflies.
