tropicbreeze Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 That's Taeniophyllum, they're really interesting. The roots have become the leaves and have chlorophyll to carry out photosynthesis. We have a leafless native orchid here, Dipodium stenocheilum, which is a terrestrial. But it's a saprophyte and has a symbiotic relationship with fungi to produce it's food rather than by photosynthesis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
