Compared to simulations with no vegetation, a stably stratified canopy reduces the height of the nocturnal jet and the pressure drag alters the momentum balance resulting in lower turbulence levels Canopy.

It was discovered in the Indonesian rain forest by an Indonesian guide in 1818. The plant has no stems, leaves or true roots. It spreads its root-like haustoria inside the tissue of a vine. The only part of the plant that can be seen outside the host vine is the five-petaled flower. In some species the flower may be over 100 cm in diameter, and weigh up to 10 kg. The flowers look and smell like rotting meat, hence its local names which translate to "corpse flower" or "meat flower".
