Microlobius foetidus
Microlobius foetidus is a tropical species known for its striking, often malodorous flowers. Typically thriving in warmer, moist environments, this plant's large, broad leaves and hardy stems are adapted to such climates. Its blossoms are distinguishable by their vibrant color and strong scent, which are likely evolved to attract specific pollinators. Microlobius foetidus plays a vital role in its ecosystem, supporting a variety of wildlife, despite its off-putting odor to humans.
