Genera See text The genera of plants within the tribe Stapeliae are all to varying degrees stem succulents and are leafless. ...
The genus Stapelia consists of around 40 species of low growing, spineless stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa. The flowers in some species, notably Stapelia gigantea can exceed 20 cm (8 inches) in diameter and in all are hairy to varying degrees with a disagreeable odour to attract pollinating flies (Diptera). The flower colour and texture is supposed to represent rotting meat. Jump to: navigation, search In biology, the most commonly used definition of species was first coined by Ernst Mayr. ...

Suborders Archidiptera Eudiptera Brachycera Diptera are insects in which the hind wings are reduced to halteres. ...
The genus Stapelia consists of around 40 species of low growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa.
The flowers in some species, notably Stapelia gigantea can reach 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter and in all species are hairy to varying degrees and generate the odour of rotten flesh.
This attracts pollinating flies, metallic blue, green, or bronze blow flies of the dipteran family Calliphoridae.
