Monotropa uniflora, commonly known as the ghost plant or Indian pipe, is a unique flowering plant that lacks chlorophyll, giving it a pale, almost translucent appearance. It typically grows in shaded, forested areas and can be found in North America and parts of Asia. This plant derives nutrients through a symbiotic relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, which connect to the roots of nearby trees. The ghost plant features a single, nodding white flower that blooms in late spring to early summer. Its unusual appearance and lack of green pigmentation make it stand out in the forest floor. Monotropa uniflora is often considered a fascinating example of plant adaptation and ecological relationships.
