The discovery by workers of a logging company was the second in Pahang after the Rafflesia Cantleyi was found in Pulau Tioman some years ago. Malaysian Nature Society (Pahang branch) chairman Liong Sam Kong said the society was in the process of identifying if the flowers were of the Rafflesia Cantleyi or Rafflesia Hasseltii species. He said the workers informed MNS of the discovery last week and requested that the area be preserved for conservation. & #147;We are happy that the logging company contacted us because this discovery is the first in Kuantan. & #147;Based on preliminary information, more than three flowers are blooming while other clumps of buds were found in the area, & #148; he said. The Rafflesia flower is a parasitic plant that grows on the lower slopes of mountains. <p> ________________________ Your one-stop information portal: The Star Online http://thestar.com.my http://biz.thestar.com.my http://classifieds.thestar.com.my http://cards.thestar.com.my http://search.thestar.com.my http://star-motoring.com http://star-space.com http://star-jobs.com http://star-ecentral.com http://star-techcentral.com 1995-2002 Star Publications (Malaysia) Bhd.
