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

The small size and interesting morphology of "Rafflesia verrucosa" make it one of the most unusual "Rafflesia" species. It is the smallest flowered "Rafflesia" species described from Mindanao. The other two, "R. mira" and "R. schadenbergiana", are some of the largest in the genus. The epithet "verrucosa" comes from the Latin word "verruca", which means wart. This name was given due to the unique, raised warts on the lobes and diaphragm of
