Summary
[edit]Description2009 07 18 Rafflesia schadenbergiana goppert.jpg | The Rafflesia body consists of thread like growths on the tissues of a Tetrastigma vine root, on which it is parasitic. The plant produces no leaves, stems or roots and does not contain chlorophyll. The Rafflesia can be seen only when it is ready to reproduce, when the parasitic growths on the vine form a lump that develop into a structure somewhat resembling a cabbage. This cabbage-like bud bursts through the host?s bark, and after about 9 months will open to reveal the massive 5-petaled flower, with stamens and pistils, which develops into a fruit with seeds. The flowers, which sit directly on the forest floor, are each either male or female (female flowers are particularly rare), can measure more than a meter across and weigh 10 kilograms. Most flowers in the genus give off and smell of rotting flesh, hence its local name of ?corpse flower.? This smell attracts flies, which pollinate the plant. The center of the flowers contain numerous spikes whose function are unknown, and it also holds several gallons of nectar. The fruit produced is round and about 15 cm in diameter, with thousands of tiny seeds. |
