Lysiana - PictureThis

Lysiana

Lysiana is a parasitic plant that intriguingly derives its nutrients from host plants through specialized root-like structures. Characterized by its wiry stems and small, often inconspicuous flowers, lysiana typically thrives in woodland environments where it can subtly intertwine with shrubs or trees, subtly exploiting them for survival while blending seamlessly into the surrounding foliage.
