- 32. Corpse Flower Amorphophallus Paeoniifolius(Campanulatum) The family is characterised by its inflorescence, consisting of a fleshy spike of small flowers (spadix) usually subtended by a large bract (spathe). Produces a single inflorescence followed by a solitary leaf. Only blooms when mature. Flowers last only about 5 days.
- 33. The fresh inflorescence emitsa stink odour reminiscent of rotting flesh to attract pollinating The foul odour only last for a few hours after the flower opens. The corms of some varieties are edible and grown as food crops in several Asian countries, especially Indonesia. It grows in wild form in the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian countries.

- 45. A group Iintron has recently been shown to have invaded mitochondrial cox1 genes by horizontal transfer many times during the broad course of angiosperm evolution. To investigate the frequency of acquisition of this intron within a more closely related group of plants, they determined its distribution and inferred its evolutionary history among 14 genera of the monocot family Araceae.
