The "common air pine" (T. fasciculata) in a freak location on the ground. This plant is epiphytic and normaly grows fastened to the trunks or branches of trees by stout woody little roots without absorptive power. The plant manufactures its food from gases and moisture absorbed from the air by its leaves; roots serve only for support and anchorage. Note bud of flower stalk in upper center.”
