Hydnora Africana

Hydnora Africana

Hydnora Africana is an achlorophyllous plant native to southern Africa that is parasitic on the roots of members of the Euphorbiaceae family. The plant grows underground, except for a fleshy flower that emerges above ground and emits a terrible odor of feces to attract its natural pollinators, dung beetles, and carrion beetles.
