Rafflesia consueloae studied. The species is the smallest of all "Rafflesia", measuring an average diameter of when fully expanded. The disk surface of newly opened flowers of "R. consueloae" is described to as distinctly cream-white and usually without processes. It is reported that "R. consueloae" has bisexual flowers, the third species after "R. baletei" and "R. verrucosato" to be described as such in the Philippines, but it has not been established whether both sexes of each flower are functional. "Rafflesia consueloae"'s flowers do not exhibit the distinct odor found in "R. arnoldii" (nicknamed the "corpse flower") and most species of "Rafflesia", with
