Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is a white perennial succulent herb which lacks chlorophyll, and thus has an inability to create their own energy through photosynthesis. Through fungal intermediaries, the Indian Pipe, a mycoheterotroph, sequesters nutrients from photosynthetic plants through mycorrhizal connections to conifers, with which it ultimately parasitizes its nutrients.
