Carrion flower Borneo and Sumatra. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds. "R. arnoldii" is a parasitic plant on "Tetrastigma" vine, which grows only in primary rainforests. It has no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It does not photosynthesize, but rather uses the host plant to obtain water and nutrients. Plants in the genus "Stapelia" are also called "carrion flowers". They are small, spineless, cactus-like succulent plants. Most species are native to South Africa, and are grown as potted plants elsewhere.

Narcissus (plant) that are mainly synanthous (leaves and flowers appearing at the same time). While most species flower in late winter to spring, five species are autumn flowering ("N. broussonetii", "N. cavanillesii", "N. elegans", "N. serotinus", "N. viridiflorus"). By contrast these species are hysteranthous (leaves appear after flowering). Flower longevity varies by species and conditions, ranging from 5–20 days. After flowering leaf and root senescence sets in, and the plant appears to be 'dormant' till the next spring, conserving moisture. However the dormant period is also one of considerable activity within the bulb primordia. It is also a period during which the
