The world's largest flower is the Rafflesia.  It's a gigantic red flower with white spots, and a huge central spike.  The flower gives off an intoxicating aroma that is said to be highly reminescent of rotting flesh.\n\nRafflesia is pollenated by the flies attracted to this scent.\n\nIt is found in Malaysia, and is named after the famous hotel in Singapore (the Raffles)

Deforestation is the loss or continual degradation of forest habitat due to either natural or human related causes. Agriculture, urban sprawl, unsustainable forestry practices, mining, and petroleum exploration all contribute to human caused deforestation. Natural deforestation can be linked to tsunamis, forest fires, volcanic eruptions, glaciation and desertification. The effects of human related deforestation can be mitigated through environmentally sustainable practices that reduce permanent destruction of forests or even act to preserve and rehabilitate disrupted forestland.

Williams, South African Museum\nSagittarius Volume 3, number 2  1988\n\nIn the equatorial highlands of East Africa's towering volcanoes and rugged rift ranges is a zone of subalpine vegetation known to ecologists and plant geographers as the elfinwood. A naturalist entering the elfinwood for the first time is intrigued by this fairyland-like setting; the dwarfed and contorted growth of trees, dangling moisture-laden mosses and lichens, grotesquely gigantic herbs, lush green ground-cover mixed with brilliant blossoms, and general lack of sounds (except for those of the pervasive winds). These combine to produce an almost surrealistic impression. Elfinwoods are unique not only in their general appearance, but also in their remoteness. They are tucked away on the isolated slopes and ridges of certain high mountains in the world's tropical zone, are thus very restricted in range and are encountered nowhere else on earth. Indeed, elfin forests are rare areas of the world's rapidly shrinking natural environment.\n\nThe elfinwood forest is so named because of its low stature and often dwarfed or contorted appearance of its trees when compared to the lofty and majestic high-canopy rain forests of lower elevations. Similar vegetation belts occur in the northern Andean highlands of South America and on isolated Austronesian peaks of Borneo, Java and New Guinea. The elfinwood forms a characteristic but highly localized plant community in the subalpine zone of these widely distributed equatorial mountains.\n\nSince the unique elfinwood ecosystem is not found in North America or Europe, most temperate-zone travellers who first encounter this equatorial subalpine world, marvel at its exotic and strange aspects which are so foreign in appearance to the unaccustomed observer.\n\ndwarfs and giants in the elfinwood\nThe elfinwood is also known to biologists by a host of other names: equatorial elfin forest, ericoid scrub forest, alpinoid forest, moss forest, upland forest, subalpine pygmy forest, and afromontane cloud forest are among the elaborate names applied to this vegetation zone.\n\nActually, 'elfinwood' is a somewhat misleading term. Although many plants of the upper limits of this zone do indeed owe their dwarfed and tortuous aspects to the inhibiting effects of high altitude terrain such as rugged and steep topography, poor rocky soils, and high winds, several species in some areas of the elfinwood are not dwarfed trees at all, but rather have evolved as gigantic tree-like forms from small, herbaceous (non-woody, perennial plants) or shrubby ancestors. When compared to the straight and tall upper canopy trees of the lowland rain forest, however, these giant 'woody herbs' and shrubs sometimes appear as dwarfed trees. The availability of the arboreal niche (or tree form of growth) in protected, isolated, high-altitude locations and the consistently cool, wet, uniform climate have presumably allowed for this evolutionary trend in a number of elfinwood plants.\n\nThis form of gigantism is known as 'insular woodiness' and usually applies to evolution on oceanic islands but can equally apply to high mountains in equatorial regions. These highland areas can be thought of as temperate islands in a tropical sea. That is, the tropical lowlands act as effective barriers to isolate the temperate plants and animals of equatorial mountains just as the seas isolate the inhabitants of oceanic islands.\n\nThe elfinwood vegetational zones of such widely separated biogeographical regions as Africa, South America, and the East Indies are superficially quite similar in appearance and are known as 'convergent communities'.

The largest living thing is a fungus with the scientific name Armillaria ostoyae, known more commonly as the honey mushroom. It stretches 3.5 miles (5.6 kilometers) across and covers an area larger than 1,600 football fields. Most of it is hidden underground.

Despite their uniqueness and extraordinary value, tropical rain forests are being destroyed and badly degraded at an unsustainable rate. Some scientists estimate that in the early 1990s tropical forests were being destroyed at a rate of approximately 28 hectares (70 acres) a minute, or about 14 million hectares (35 million acres) each year—an area about the size of the state of Wisconsin. This figure marked a decrease since the 1980s, when approximately 16 million hectares (40 million acres) were destroyed each year, largely due to a reported decline of deforestation in the Amazon River basin in the early 1990s. However, satellite images indicate that rates may have rebounded in the late 1990s as burning in the Amazon increased again. Over the past three decades alone, about 5 million sq km (about 2 million sq mi)—or 20 percent of the world’s tropical forests—have been cleared. During this time, deforestation in tropical Asia reached almost 30 percent. High rates of deforestation are inevitably followed by alarming rates of plant and animal extinction because many rain forest species cannot survive outside their pristine rain forest habitat. Some scientists estimate that dozens of rain forest species are becoming extinct every day.
