Thriving in rainforests , Rafflesia is in danger of extinction due to habitat loss as well as poaching — its buds are harvested and sold for medicinal properties.
The plant cannot grow in captivity, and, as most occurrences of Rafflesia contain only male or female flowers, pollinations is rare. A fly must land first on a male flower, avoid being eaten, and then transport the pollen to a female flower. If pollination does occur, the flower produces a smooth-skinned fruit, which is actually a berry about 5-inches in diameter.
