Rafflesia hasseltii Suringar
The photograph below, taken by Jeremy Holden, is displayed on the web site of the Kerinci Seblat National Park in Indonesia. There is also a picture of Rhizanthes zippelli on the same page!
The photograph below shows Rafflesia hasseltii on the cover of Oryx (Vol. 31, number 2, April 1997), the official journal of Flora and Fauna International. See article in this issue by Debbie Martyr (pp. 80-82) which discusses this amazing discovery. This is the first record of this plant from the park and only the third site described for the species this century.
