Corallorhiza Innata Var. Ericetorum
Corallorhiza innata var. ericetorum is a rare and elusive orchid native to specific regions of the northern hemisphere. It thrives in shaded, moist environments, often found in association with ericaceous plants like heathers and rhododendrons. This orchid is notable for its lack of chlorophyll, relying entirely on mycorrhizal fungi for nutrients. Its delicate, pinkish-white flowers are both beautiful and biologically unique. Due to habitat loss and its secretive nature, it remains a subject of fascination and conservation concern.
