My vote goes to Brachystelma cathcartensis.  It smelled so nasty that I 
never resampled it, which is why I can't give a very clear accounting of its 
fragrance.  From memory, it was a carrion smell, but a particularly dirty 
one.  Fortunately the plant hugs the ground, and the smell doesn't seem to 
carry far (I never noticed it at all until I actually stuck my nose in it).
