Sapria myanmarensis is a rare and endemic holoparasitic flowering plant related to Rafflesia found in Myanmar's northwestern part, in Kachin State and Sagaing Region. The species was similar to S. himalayana , but was distinguished due to its basally-distributed, white-colored warts on the vermilion perigone lobes, shorter perigone tubes, flat central disk with greater disk crest diameter, and crateriform ramenta. It was described in 2019. [1]

Etymology

The specific epithet derives from Myanmar, the name of the country where it was discovered. [1]
