The largest flower in the world is Rafflesia Arnoldii (Rafflesiaceae), named after Sir Stamford Raffles, a former British Governor of Malaya. It is found in Malaya, attains a size of about 2 ft. across, weighs about 15 lb., smells like putrid meat and attracts flies, on which fertilisation depends. It is pinkish-yellow and mottled, with 5 regular petals or perianth lobes, which are ¼-¾ in. thick, with a round cup-shaped corona in the centre. The plant consists of the flower alone, which arises from a fungus-like growth, being parasitic on trailing stems or roots of a Vitis. (From: 'TROPICAL PLANTING AND GARDENING' by H.F. Macmillan; 5th edition, 1962, London).. Bloem van Rafflesia Tuan Mudae |
