Chiloschista yunnanensis
Chiloschista yunnanensis is a leafless orchid native to Yunnan, China, thriving on tree trunks in humid, misty forests. Its roots, green with photosynthetic capabilities, form a web-like structure that clings to bark, efficiently absorbing moisture and nutrients from air and rain. This ephemeral beauty blooms with small, delicate flowers that contrast with its robust root system, a striking adaptation to its canopy environment.
