phantom orchid
The phantom orchid, scientifically referred to as Cephalanthera austiniae, is a rare, non-photosynthetic, perennial, orchid species that's native to regions in the west coast of North America. It derives its name "phantom" due to its ghostly, white appearance, whereby all parts of the plant including flowers, stem, bracts, and roots are white. This orchid is completely leafless and relies on a network of fungal associates to obtain nutrients from surrounding trees and plants, a condition known as mycoheterotrophy.
