生長環境
白(bai)星(xing)海芋會(hui)(hui)釋放(fang)出一(yi)種(zhong)難聞(wen)的(de)腐(fu)肉味(wei)道。這種(zhong)氣(qi)味(wei)可以(yi)吸(xi)引雌(ci)性(xing)大(da)蒼蠅(ying)(ying)為其傳粉(fen)。當(dang)大(da)蒼蠅(ying)(ying)飛(fei)到它(ta)們(men)(men)身上(shang)時,它(ta)們(men)(men)就用自己巨(ju)大(da)的(de)花(hua)朵(duo)將其捕獲并困于花(hua)朵(duo)之(zhi)中一(yi)整夜。第二天,白(bai)星(xing)海芋才會(hui)(hui)張開(kai)花(hua)朵(duo),將粘滿花(hua)粉(fen)的(de)大(da)蒼蠅(ying)(ying)釋放(fang)。當(dang)大(da)蒼蠅(ying)(ying)飛(fei)臨第二株白(bai)星(xing)海芋花(hua)朵(duo)之(zhi)上(shang)時,傳粉(fen)任務就完成了。
