Introduction of ghost orchid. Thank you. ..

English name: Ghost? Orchids? Ranko: Ranko? Scientific name: Epipogium? Leafless bacteria? Southwest. ? Location:? Biota (life? Things) Eukaryotes (eukaryotes)? PLANTAE? Seed plants (vascular? Plants)? Magnolia (flowering? Plants)? Liliaceae (monocotyledonous? Flowering? Plants)? Orchid (orchid)? Biology-Eukaryotes-Plants-Vascular Plants-Flowering Plants-Monocotyledons-Orchidaceae? Characteristics: lack of chlorophyll, parasitic life, mostly inhabiting woodland and swamp, mostly taking decayed leaves of beech as growth place. Oak leaves can also be found, and underground stems can stay underground for many years, leading to root absorption (rhizomes? Sucker), the coral-like aboveground part is 5-25 cm high and leafless, so photosynthesis cannot be carried out. Flowers are gorgeous and exotic, like jumping frogs, pollinated by insects, and seeds spread by the wind. Distributed in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, England? Herefordshire? And Shropshire. Globally? From northern Europe to central Europe to the south of the Pyrenees, Greece and northern Crimea, it is also found in Siberia, Caucasus and Himalayas. The roots of Eupatorium odoratum can blend well with bark, and its striking white flowers are like ghosts floating in the air, so it is also called "ghost orchid". There are few flowers in Gui Lan. If you see Gui Lan, you will be attracted by its strange appearance. ? Orchids mostly give people a fresh and elegant feeling, but single ghost orchids are different in orchids. Ghostorchid, a famous ghost orchid, is called ghost orchid in English. As the name implies, this flower grows in a damp and dark swamp, accompanied by crocodiles, and its flowers are pale and strange. ? 1844, Belgian Jean Jules Linden discovered an orchid in Cuba that has no leaves and does not grow on land. It only relies on a root as flat as a green ribbon, which is attached to other trunks and has pale and strange flowers. When the wind blows gently, the petals sway with the wind, much like ghosts floating in midair-so this orchid is named "Ghost Orchid". ? Eupatorium adenophorum is an epiphyte, which is different from parasitic plants, although it is also entangled in other plants. It does not absorb the nutrients of the host plant, but uses its own roots for photosynthesis and water absorption. Later, the ghost orchid was found in the swamp in the southwest of Florida Peninsula. Some biologists believe that the ghost orchid in Florida was brought from Cuba by wind or birds. ? Ghost orchids are very rare. At present, there are only more than 2,000 species of plants in the United States, all of which grow in the swamps of southern Florida. June to August is her flowering period every year. Usually only 5%~ 10% Eupatorium adenophorum can bloom, and a Eupatorium adenophorum can only bloom one or two flowers at a time. But in June 2007, an Italian photographer waited for four hours and took a set of amazing photos-because the ghost orchid actually opened nine flowers. ? There are rumors that the ghost orchid can refine medicine. In the American film Adapted Script, there is a story about drugs and ghost orchids: the hero and heroine look for ghost orchids in a swamp full of crocodiles, take drugs extracted from ghost orchids, and finally the hero dies miserably in the mouth of crocodiles. Although no scientists have come forward to confirm whether Eupatorium odoratum can extract drugs, it is certain that the plant itself does have a drug-like temperament. ? It is illegal to collect wild ghost orchids. Because it is very difficult to cultivate Eupatorium adenophorum artificially and the wild Eupatorium adenophorum is very rare, this plant has been listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Today, Florida's parks have opened the "Ghost Orchid Watch" tour to tourists. Before entering the swamp, the tour guide will draw the crocodile away, so that tourists can walk through the swamp and watch this ghostly plant.
