KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s rarest Rafflesia species (pic) has been discovered in new locations, according to a recent study by the Sabah Forestry Department.
Chief Conservator of Forests Datuk Frederick Kugan said the endemic Rafflesia tengku-adlinii was found in the Bukit Monkobo and Bukit Mentapok Forest Reserve in north-central Sabah during the Heart of Borneo scientific expedition in mid-August. He said this species is the rarest of the three Rafflesia varieties found in Sabah.
