Plants like these are considered carnivous. There are many plants that have similar advantageous, however disgusting, abilities. The venus fly-trap, another carnivorous plant, also produced a similar smell, and has a pink tinge to the inside of it's "mouthes." This effect is used to attract animals that usually eat carrion for sustinence. When the pray is trapped, via the mousetrap-like "mouthes", digestive enzymes are used to break down the potential energy source.
Some other examples of carnivorous plants are "The Pitcher Plant", "Bullwort", and "StickyDew" plants.
