ERYTHRORCHIS CASSYTHOIDES BLACK BOOTLACE ORCHID (A. CUNNINGHAM EX LINDLEY) GARAY, 1986 The Black Bootlace Orchid is mycoheterotrophic, which means it lacks chlorophyll and instead takes all its nutrients from a fungus that it parasitizes. It has slender, brown, climbing branches, not unlike Devils Twine, a parasitic vine of the Cassytha genushence the scientific name. The common name comes from the strap-like branches, which resemble shoelaces. The plant stems are held in place by thick, fleshy roots, and the highly branched inflorescence bears many scented flowers that attract small bees for pollination. The flowers closely resemble those of the Vanilla genus, to which the species is related, along with other chlorophyll-free genera, such as Galeola. Plants are reported to be short-lived and more vigorous and frequent in places where there is rotting timber.
