Anacheilium Chondylobulbon

Coralroot, scientifically known as Anacheilium chondylobulbon, is a rare and enigmatic orchid species found in specific habitats across the eastern United States. This plant is notable for its lack of chlorophyll, making it entirely dependent on mycorrhizal fungi for survival. Its striking coral-like flowers, which range in color from white to pink, make it a visually captivating yet elusive species. Despite its beauty, Coralroot is often overlooked due to its delicate nature and limited distribution. Understanding and conserving this unique plant is essential for preserving biodiversity in its native ecosystems.
