Rafflesia arnoldii which then pollinate the rare plant. It is not to be confused with the titan arum, "Amorphophallus titanum", which is also commonly referred to as the "corpse flower" because of its repulsive odor. "Rafflesia arnoldii" is rare and fairly hard to locate. It is especially difficult to locate the flower in forests, as the buds take many months to develop and the flower lasts for just a few days. The flowers are unisexual and thus proximity of male and female flowers is vital for successful pollination. These factors make successful pollination a rare event. When "Rafflesia" is ready to reproduce,
Rafflesia verrucosa are also both small. One unique morphological feature of "R. verrucosa" is its monoecious or bisexual nature. The only other reported bisexual species in this genus is "Rafflesia baletei". "R. baletei" has male and female flowers that contain vestigial structures of the opposite sex. Further studies will be needed to conclude if the species is a functional bisexual. "Rafflesia verrucosa" has been found only growing on the southeastern slope of Mt. Kampalili in the Davao Oriental Province of Mindanao. The plant can be found between 1350 and 1550 m. in elevation even though the Tetrastigma vines that the plant grow
