Rafflesia (/ r ə ˈ f l iː z (i) ə,-ˈ f l iː ʒ (i) ə, r æ-/), [2] or stinking corpse lily, [3] is a genus of parasitic flowering plants in the family Rafflesiaceae. [4] The species have enormous flowers, the buds rising from the ground or directly from the lower stems of their host plants; one species has the largest flower in the world.
Rafflesia baletei is a parasitic plant species of the genus Rafflesia. It is endemic to the Philippines . The species was first collected in 1991 by Bicolano mammalogist Danilo S. Balete on Mount Isarog and was initially thought to be Rafflesia manillana .
The mature flower bud of R. philippensis has a diameter of around 13-16 centimeters. Its fully opened flower has a diameter of 29.3-32 centimeters, placing it in a group composed of other small-sized Rafflesia species such as R. manillana, R. lobata, and R. baletei, whose open flowers measure an average of 20 centimeters in diameter.
Rafflesia speciosa is a parasitic plant species of the genus Rafflesia. It is endemic to the Philippine island of Panay. [1] R. speciosa is the third Rafflesia species documented to exist in the Philippines, after R. manillana and R. schadenbergiana. It belongs to the medium-sized Rafflesia (Meijer, 1997).
Even its smallest recognized species, R. manillana, has 20 cm. diameter flowers. The survival of the sensitive Rafflesia depends on a lot of factors—its seeds need to find the right host, the buds need to receive the right amount of water and nutrients, and flowers of the opposite sex must be nearby so that pollination can occur.
Rafflesia schadenbergiana is a parasitic plant species in the family Rafflesiaceae, endemic to the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. It has the largest flower among the Rafflesia species found in the Philippines, with a diameter of 52–80 cm (20–30 in). [1] [2] It has also the second largest flower in the genus after R. arnoldii.
