Essay

There are many examples of unusual plants, such as the pitcher plant that you have studied in Chapter 13. Another highly unique plant is the Hydnora africana , which is indigenous to deserts in southern Africa. The only portion of this plant that is visible above ground is a fairly large fleshy orange and brown flower. There are no leaves or stems evident, but it has an extensive root system that intertwines with the roots of another type of plant. Explain the unusual lifestyle of this species. In addition, name a macronutrient that would not be needed by this plant as much as it would in a traditional plant.
