Dragon arum smells awful!
(Book)

Includes index.

"When we think of flowering plants, we generally imagine those with a pleasant fragrance that draw bees to pollinate them. But some plants-such as dragon arum-are pollinated by flies. And flies prefer the smell of rotting meat to that of sweet nectar. Readers of this absorbing volume will learn fascinating facts about this strange plant, including what it looks like and where it grows, in addition to the reason for its awful odor. Accessible text highlights important elementary science concepts, and vivid images bring the text to life. Photo captions, fact boxes, and a graphic organizer enhance the main text"--Provided by publisher.
