Helosis cayennensis
-3.98893, -70.09
Field Notes
Description:
inflorescence develops in an underground tuber before breaking through the surface, plant contains no chlorophyl
Habitat:
tropical rainforest, amazon
Notes:
Though I only spotted a few of these in the tierra firme in the amazon, high ground that never floods, they were particularly abundant in the flooded forest. The area wasn't quite underwater yet when I was there and there were huge clumps of parasitic blooms all over.
