Rafflesia verrucosa
''Rafflesia verrucosa'' was first identified and characterized during a small mammal survey of Mt. Kampalili in eastern Mindanao in 2010. ''R. verrucosa'' is the tenth species of Rafflesia found in the Philippines.〔 Rafflesia are rare and extremely unique flowers known for their large size and pungent smell. Some plant enthusiasts like Frits W. Went have gone to extreme measures to see these plants in bloom. Frits detailed his search for Rafflesia saying, "I had heard, when I was in Java many years ago, that Rafflesia were to be found on an offshore island named Nusah Kembangan. This was in 1929, when it was a penal colony for major criminals. My driver on this occasion was a convicted murderer, and my guide was serving time for cannibalism."
The small size and interesting morphology of ''Rafflesia verrucosa'' make it one of the most unique Rafflesia species. It is the smallest flowered ''Rafflesia'' species described from Mindanao.〔 The other two, ''R. mira'' and ''R. schadenbergiana'', are some of the largest in the genus.〔
==Etymology==
The epithet ''verrucosa'' comes from the Latin word ''verruca'', which means wart.〔 This name was given due to the unique, raised warts on the lobes and diaphragm of the plant.
