The Allotropa virgata

''Allotropa virgata'' is in the family Ericaceae and is the only species of the genus ''Allotropa''. It is a perennial plant that gets its common names from the distinct white and red or maroon stripes along its erect peduncle. ''A. virgata'' are nongreen as they lack chlorophyll, instead obtaining nutrition from neighboring green plants through a fungal intermediate. ''Allotropa virgata'' feeds exclusively on Matsutake mushroom mycelium.

Its common names include Sugarstick, Sugar-stick,.. more
