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 recent study more specifically found "Rafflesia" and its relatives to be embedded within the family Euphorbiaceae, which is surprising, as members of that family typically have very small flowers. According to their analysis, the rate of flower size evolution was more or less constant throughout the family except at the origin of Rafflesiaceae, where the flowers rapidly evolved to become much larger before reverting to the slower rate of change. With the second-largest rain forest in the world and a high level of biodiversity, Indonesia is a home for hundreds of flora including Rafflesia. Most of them can be found
