Named after Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, the Rafflesia Flower is
the world's largest single flower and is found in Southeast Asia in
the Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Kalimantan, West Malaysia
and the Philippines.
The flower has no leaves and hardly any stem, just a huge speckled
five-petaled flower with a diameter up to 106cm, and weighing up to
10kg.
The flowers smell like rotting meat, thus it is also known as
"corpse flower" or "meat flower".
