Definition
A genus of parasitic flowering plants native to North America that lack chlorophyll and feed on tree roots.
Etymology
From Greek 'konos' (cone) and 'pholis' (scale or plate), referring to the plant's cone-like shape with overlapping scales. The genus was named for its distinctive appearance.
Kelly Says
Conopholis is one of nature's most dramatic parasites—it's a ghost plant that hides underground and feeds on oak roots, never photosynthesizing. Scientists call it a mycoheterotroph because it actually gets nutrients through fungal partners rather than directly from plants!
