Hydnora africana is an achlorophyllous plant in the family Hydnoraceae, native to

southern Africa that is parasitic on the roots of members of the Euphorbiaceae family.[1] The plant
grows underground, except for a fleshy flower that emerges above ground and emits an odor
of feces to attract its natural pollinators, dung beetles and carrion beetles.[2] The flowers act as
temporary traps, retaining the beetles that enter long enough for them to pick up pollen. [3] It is also
called jakkalskos or jackal food. The genus name comes from the Greek word hydnon, which

ranslates to "truffle," and the specific epithet africana means to be from Africa.[4]

Rafflesia is a genus of parasitic flowering plants. It contains approximately 28 species (including four
incompletely characterized species as recognized by Willem Meijer in 1997), all found in Southeast
Asia, mainly in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines. It was first discovered by Louis
Deschamps in Java between 1791 and 1794, but his notes and illustrations, seized by the British in
1803, were not available to western science until 1861. It was later found in
the Indonesian rainforest in Bengkulu, Sumatra by an Indonesian guide working for Joseph Arnold in
1818, and named after Sir Stamford Raffles, the leader of the expedition.
