That name. That flower. Absolutely brilliant!
A newly described mycoheterotrophic plant that really lives up to its name.

New âdevil flowerâ species discovered in Thai national park
The species belongs to #Thismia, a genus of small #plants sometimes called âfairy lanternsâ. Unlike most plants, they contain no #chlorophyll and cannot #photosynthesise, instead drawing nutrients from underground #fungi [âŠ]
