Monotropa uniflora


WikipediaCommonsWikibooks (horticulture)Wikibooks (subject)WikispeciesFruit and seed clock

Profile for Monotropa uniflora (Indian Pipe)
Identifying Characteristics

Flowers:Single white flower, 10-15 mm long with 3-8 petals.

Similar Plants:Orobanche uniflora
General information:Unlike most plants, it is white and does not contain chlorophyll. Instead of generating energy from sunlight, it is parasitic, more specifically a myco-heterotroph. Its hosts are certain fungi that are mycorrhizal with trees, meaning it ultimately gets its energy from photosynthetic trees.
