in steemit •  6 years ago 

Raflesia Arnoldi is the biggest flower in the world. this flower is the order of rafflesiales and the class plantae is also a class of magnoliopsida. It grows in Tetrastigma vines (liana) and has no leaves so it is unable to photosynthesize. The naming of this giant flower is inseparable from the history of its discovery for the first time in 1818 in the Bengkulu tropical forest (Sumatra) somewhere near the Manna River, Lubuk Tapi, South Bengkulu Regency, so Bengkulu is known in the world as The Land of Rafflesia or the Earth Rafflesia. image
