Balanophora fungosa : ウィキペディア英語版 | Balanophora fungosa
''Balanophora fungosa'' is a parasitic plant growing on the roots of rainforest plants. The flowering structure is shaped like a toadstool but consists of a globe covered with thousands of tiny female flowers. The globe is surrounded at its base by a much smaller number of male flowers. In flower, the plant emits an odour resembling that of mice. ==Description== Like other members of its genus, ''B. fungosa'' is holoparasitic and contains no chlorophyll.〔 The aerial parts of the plant consist of a hard, irregularly shaped tuber from which the flower-bearing structures extend. The leaves are scale–like, pale cream in colour from 8–30 mm long, 7–20 mm wide and more or less stem clasping. The plant is monoecious, bearing both pistillate (female) and staminate (male) flowers. Thousands of minute female flowers cover a globe-shaped structure 1.5–2 cm in diameter. The styles are less than 1.0 mm long. About 20 male flowers are arranged around the base of the globe, each about 3–5 mm in diameter with a pedicel about 5-6 mm long and are covered with powdery white pollen.〔
