Bunga Bangkai Koleksi Kebun Raya Cibodas Mekar Hampir Tiga Meter!
SEAToday.com, Cianjur - Tanaman bunga bangkai atau Amorphophallus titanum koleksi Kebun Raya Cibodas kembali mekar pada awal tahun 2025 ini.
Akun sosial media kebun tersebut (@kebunaya.cibodas) menuliskan bahwa bunga raksasa ini mekar sempurna pada Senin (17/2) dengan tinggi tongkol (spadix) 293 cm dan lebar bunga (spatha) 126 cm.
Spesimen tumbuhan endemik Sumatera yang terancam punah ini memiliki siklus hidup yang unik sehingga memakan waktu panjang untuk kembali berbunga dari terakhir mekar pada 2019 dengan tinggi 2,8 m.
Peneliti Ahli Muda, Direktorat Pengelolaan Koleksi Ilmiah Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional (BRIN) Destri menjelaskan bahwa kemungkinan spesimen ini mengalami penurunan kualitas media sehingga menyebabkan keterlambatan perbungaan yang seharusnya terjadi pada 2023. Namun ia juga menyebut keterlambatan ini menjadikan cadangan makanan terkumpul lebih banyak sehingga tinggi bunga melebihi yang sebelumnya.
