Description

Corallorhiza trifida is yellowish green in color, leafless, and partially myco-heterotrophic, deriving some, but not all of its nutrients from association with fungi of genus Tomentella . [10] It also contains chlorophyll, with which it supplies some of its own carbon nutrition via autotrophy. [10]
