The Rafflesia is as unusual as it is spectacular. Much of the flower\u2019s biology remains a mystery to this day. It has no specific flowering season, and it has no roots, leaves, or stem. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are thought to be 17 species of Rafflesia, some of which may already be extinct. Three species are found in Sarawak \u2013 the&nbsp;Rafflesia Pricei, Rafflesia Arnoldi and Rafflesia Tuan-Mudae, which is a type of&nbsp;Arnoldi.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"262\" src=\"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture-f.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture-f.png 683w, https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture-f-300x115.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture-g.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-961\" style=\"width:499px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture-g.png 700w, https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Picture-g-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Touted as the world\u2019s largest flower, the Rafflesia is a rare species of plant found in Gunung Ganing National Park, Kampung Begu, Kampung Temurang and Kampung Belimbing Darul Islam of Padawan in Sarawak. One of the famous places that known for Rafflesia is the Gunung Gading National Park, it&nbsp;is located 100 km from&nbsp;Kuching&nbsp;and is home to the world\u2019s largest flower. However, only one species, Rafflesia Tuan-Mudae, is found at&nbsp;<strong>Gunung Gading<\/strong>andThe Rafflesia is a rare flower with a short flowering period. Therefore, a certain amount of luck is required if your visit to Sarawak is to coincide with a Rafflesia in full bloom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rafflesia, the world\u2019s largest flower, is a parasitic plant found only in Southeast Asia, and then only in sub-mountainous&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":770,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-worlds-largest-flower"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=769"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1001,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769\/revisions\/1001"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pbast2024.eng.usm.my\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
