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
Rafflesia philippensis and that of Dr. Domingo Madulid. Thus, the two later names, "R. banahawensis" and "R. banahaw" are synonyms of "R. philippensis". Rafflesia philippensis Rafflesia philippensis is a parasitic plant species of the genus "Rafflesia" that was named by Blanco in his Flora de Filipinas in 1845. "R. philippensis" is known only from a mountain located between the provinces of Laguna and Quezon, Luzon where it was first discovered. Its plant host is "Tetrastigma pisicarpum". This species went unnoticed since its first description by Blanco but was rediscovered in 2003 by members of the Tanggol Kalikasan, a local environment conservation group
