Rafflesia Arnoldii

Rafflesia is also called "corpse flower" because of its

stench. It's the world’s largest single flower. It has no
stems, leaves, or roots, though it does seem to be a plant
of some kind. Some people think that it’s related to
fungi. The Kew Botanical Gardens website claims that
it related to horsetails, but Wikipedia puts in
Malphigiales (a large category including willows and
flaxes).
{GENERAL STATEMENT OR GENERAL
CLASSIFICATION}
Rafflesia arnoldii is mainly found in forests of Sumatra,
Indonesia. Rafflesia arnoldii is unisexual. It has both
male and female reproduction system. The flower of
Rafflesia arnoldii grows to a diameter of around one
meter (3 feet), but the greatest measurement from a
reliable source is 105 centimeters (3.4 feet) found in
Bukittinggi, West Sumatra Province, measured by Prof.
Syabuddin of Andalas University. It weighs up to 11
kilograms (24 lb). It lives as a parasite on several vines
of the genus Tetrastigma, growing only in undisturbed
rainforests.
{DESCRIPTION}

The flowers are the only part of Rafflesia that is

identifiable as distinctly plant-like, though even these
are unusual since they attain massive proportions and
stink of rotting flesh. In fact, this scent attracts insects
such as flies which then pollinate the rare plant.
