Tetrastigma nitens was created in 1887.
Carabus nitens was created in 1758.
Gymnosoma nitens was created in 1824.
Anchylobela nitens was created in 1886.
Gymnoconia nitens was created in 1822.
The tetrastigma vine is primarily affected by herbivores such as insects, including caterpillars and beetles, which feed on its leaves. Additionally, larger animals like deer and goats may browse on the vine if it grows in their habitat. Fungal infections and diseases can also impact the health of the tetrastigma vine, indirectly affecting its survival.
A rafflesia flower is not carnivorous. It is a parasite and gets its nutrients and water from the Tetrastigma vine that it is growing in.

Rafflesia arnoldii is a parasitic plant that does not have chlorophyll to photosynthesize its own food. Instead, it absorbs nutrients from the host plant, typically vines of the Tetrastigma species.
Hierochloe odorata or Anthoxanthum nitens
Rafflesia does not have a traditional stem like most plants. Instead, it is a parasitic flower that grows on the host plant's tissue, typically vines of the Tetrastigma genus. The flower itself emerges directly from the host without a visible stem or leaves, making it unique among flowering plants.
No, the rafflesia is not a herbivore. It is a parasitic plant that does not photosynthesize and instead derives nutrients from its host plant, typically a vine in the Tetrastigma genus. Rafflesia is known for producing large, foul-smelling flowers that attract pollinators, primarily carrion flies, to aid in its reproduction. Its unique lifestyle distinguishes it from herbivores, which consume plant material for sustenance.
Rafflesia arnoldii, known for producing the largest individual flower in the world, does not "eat" in the traditional sense, as it is a parasitic plant. It derives nutrients and water from its host plant, primarily vine species in the Tetrastigma genus, through a specialized structure that connects to the host's vascular system. Instead of consuming food, it relies on the host for sustenance to grow and reproduce.
