1. Monotropa

   Monotropa is a genus of three species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants that were formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae and presently are classified in Ericaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are generally rare. Unlike most plants they do not have chlorophyll and therefore are non-photosynthetic; rather, they are myco-heterotrophs that obtain food through parasitism on subterranean fungi. Because they do not need any sunlight to live, they can live in very dark sites such as the floor of deep sylvae. The name "Monotropa" is Greek for "one turn" as every plant has one large turn near the top of the plant.

   Monotropa is a genus of non-photosynthetic, herbaceous perennials in the family Ericaceae. They are known as mycoheterotrophs, meaning they obtain their nutrients from underground fungi. Monotropa species lack chlorophyll and are usually white or pale in color. They are commonly found in temperate regions, under forest or shrub canopies. Popular species include Monotropa uniflora, also known as Indian Pipe, and Monotropa hypopitys, known as Pinesap.

1. Monotropa

   Monotropa is a genus of 5 species of herbaceous perennial plants, formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae, but now included within the Ericaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, but are generally scarce or rare. Unlike most plants, they do not contain chlorophyll; they are myco-heterotrophs, getting their food through parasitism upon fungi rather than photosynthesis. Thus they are capable of living in very dark conditions, such as the floor of deep forests, because they do not need any sunlight. ⁕Monotropa hypopitys ⁕Monotropa uniflora
