northern coralroot

Corallorhiza trifida

Northern coralroot is a special plant that doesn't have green leaves! It grows in shady forests and gets its food from the ground instead of sunlight. This makes it very unique and interesting!

生息地: Forests

外見

The northern coralroot has a slender, erect stem that is typically pale yellowish-green to purplish-brown, lacking true green leaves. It produces a spike of small, inconspicuous flowers, often with whitish petals and a purplish-striped lower lip, making it distinct from green plants.
