Pacific Coralroot

Description: Corallorrhiza mertensiana Bong. Pacific coralroot, western coralroot Orchidaceae These are mycotrophic plants that obtain their organic carbon from a host green plant by tapping into an intermediary mycorrhizal fungus attached to the roots of the host plant. Myco-heterotrophy is a symbiotic relationship between certain kinds of plants and fungi, in which the plant gets all or part of its food from parasitism upon fungi rather than from photosynthesis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myco-heterotrophy accessed 26 April 2010 The white flowers are Cornus unalaschkensis Bunchberry in the Cornaceae family Blanca Lake Trail 1052 , Snohomish County, Washington, USA 15 Jul 2006 i071506 013 Corallorrhiza mertensiana at Burke museum Orchids on Wikipedia Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Liliopsida Order: Asparagales Family: Orchidaceae Cornus unalaschkensis Western cordilleran bunchberry, bunchberry Linda M pointed out (June, 2008 Mountaineers Naturlists Camp) to us that the flowering plants have six leaves, whereas the rest have four.

Description: Coralroot is in the orchid family, but is also mycroheterotrophic. This means that they do not have chlorophyll to produce energy from sunlight, but instead derive energy through a relationship with fungi in their root systems. Because they do not need sunlight, they are often found in the dim understory of Mount Rainier's forests. Photo taken June 6, 2016, in Longmire. NPS Photo. Date: 7 June 2016, 14:10.
