大王花

Rafflesia I | 20cm x 20cm x 5 cm | 2023  | Jann Paperland

Rafflesia, the world’s largest flower, is a rare parasitic plant also known as the “corpse flower” due to its unpleasant smell. Its blooms can reach 1 meter in diameter and weigh up to 10 kg. Despite its impressive size, each Rafflesia plant produces only one flower in its lifetime, with a brief blooming period. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List classifies Rafflesia magnifica as “Critically Endangered.”

大王花(学名:Rafflesia)是世界上最大且最罕见的花朵之一。作为一种寄生植物,它因散发难闻的气味而被称为”尸花”。花朵直径可达1米,重达10公斤。尽管名字霸气,大王花一生仅开一朵花,且花期极短。根据国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)濒危物种红色名录,壮丽大王花(Rafflesia magnifica)被列为”极度濒危”物种。
