Tetrastigma nitens was created in 1887.
The Rafflesia arnaldii plant is a parasite. It lives as a collection of thread-like filaments within its host vine, absorbing food and water from the vine. The only time any of it is visible is when it pushes out its cabbage size flower bud which opens into a three foot (one meter) wide flower weighing up to 24 pounds (11 kilograms).
The rare species called the "mara" does not eat them.
Tomato worms, which live in gardens and eat tomatoes off the vine.
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.

The monkey brush vine, also known as Combretum rotundifolium, is a plant species native to Africa. It is primarily consumed by various herbivores such as antelopes, giraffes, and elephants. These animals feed on the leaves and young shoots of the monkey brush vine as part of their natural diet in the savannas and woodlands where the plant grows.
Rafflesia, a parasitic plant, does not have the ability to move on its own. Instead, it relies on its seeds being dispersed by animal vectors, primarily insects, which are attracted to the odor of its flowers. Once the seeds land on the host vine, typically from the genus Tetrastigma, they germinate and penetrate the host’s tissue, establishing a parasitic relationship. This allows the rafflesia to extract nutrients and water necessary for its survival.
