White-sloanea
Whitesloanea (also White-sloanea) is a monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Apocynaceae. It has only one known species, Whitesloanea crassa (N.E.Br.) Chiov.
It has an unusual odour, in that many believe it to smell of faecal matter. Some have postulated that the centre of the flower is actually meant to mimic an anal cavity.
