Monotropa uniflora (Ghost pipe) is a perennial plant that lacks chlorophyll. This small plant stands in stark contrast to the dark red and brown leaves and the variety of greens in the surrounding landscape. You may be wondering how this plant survives without chlorophyll; the answer is that Monotropa uniflora is parasitic, taking nutrients and carbohydrates from mycorrhizal fungi associated with tree roots.
