A genus of small, delicate flowering plants native to tropical regions, often parasitic on fungi.
Named after Burmann, an 18th-century botanist, with the Latinized genus suffix -ia, following binomial nomenclature tradition.
Burmannia plants are invisible to casual observers but represent an entire hidden ecology—they parasitize fungi that connect trees, part of nature's underground internet.
