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 lobata Rafflesia lobata Rafflesia lobata is a parasitic plant species of the genus "Rafflesia". It is endemic to the Philippine island of Panay, particularly the mountains of Antique and Iloilo provinces. This is the second species recorded from the island of Panay. One of the most distinctive features of Rafflesia lobata is that some populations have flowers with a lobed diaphragm that opens outward. Nearly all other Rafflesia (and Sapria) species have diaphragms that curve inward. This feature is polymorphic in R. lobata (at least as the species is currently defined). As shown in the photos below, in some populations the
