Amylotheca

Amylotheca is a group of parasitic flowering plants notable for their wiry, vine-like appearance, which allows them to intertwine with host trees in tropical forest environments. These plants possess small, pale flowers often arranged in clusters, adapted for the dense canopy habitats. Amylotheca's ability to derive nutrients directly from other plants contributes to its unique lifecycle, thriving in nutrient-poor soil conditions where other plants might struggle.
