What is the name of plant bearing the largest flower?

Answer 1

The largest single flower belongs to Rafflesia arnoldii, or the 'Corpse flower'.

It is a parasitic plant, with no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It attaches itself to a host plant to obtain water and nutrients. When in bloom, the Rafflesia emits a repulsive odor, similar to that of rotting meat. This odor attracts insects that pollinate the plant.

Rafflesia arnoldii is a member of the genus Rafflesia. It is noted for producing the largest individual flower on earth. It occurs only in the rainforests of Sumatra and Borneo in the Malay Archipelago.

Recent molecular taxonomy studies have resulted in assigning Rafflesia arnoldii to the family of Euphorbiaceae.

The Titan Arum (Amorphophallus titanum) and Talipot palm (Corypha umbraculifera) appear to have bigger flowers, but they are technically clusters of many flowers.
