Corallorhiza
''Corallorhiza'', the coralroot, is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family. Except for the circumboreal ''C. trifida'', the genus is restricted to North America (including Mexico, Central America and the West Indies). Most species are putatively parasitic, relying entirely upon mycorrhizal fungi within their coral-shaped rhizomes for sustenance. Because of this dependence on myco-heterotrophy, they have never been successfully cultivated. Most species are leafless and rootless. Most species produce little or no chlorophyll, and do not utilize photosynthesis. An exception is the yellowish green species '' Corallorhiza trifida'', which has some chlorophyll and is able to fix CO2. However, this species also depends primarily on fungal associations for carbon acquisition. List of species Many species names have been proposed that are now considered synonyms of other species, or members of other genera.

Corallorhiza Trifida
''Corallorhiza trifida'', commonly known as early coralroot, northern coralroot, or yellow coralroot, is a coralroot orchid native to North America and Eurasia, with a circumboreal distribution. The species has been reported from the United States, Canada, Russia, China, Japan, Korea, India, Nepal, Kashmir, Pakistan, and almost every country in Europe.Gleason, H. A. & A.J. Cronquist. 1991. Manual of the Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada (ed. 2) i–910. New York Botanical Garden, Bronx. 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''.Zimmer, K., et al. (2008)The ectomycorrhizal specialist orchid ''Corallorhiza trifida'' is a partial myco-heterotroph.''New Phytologist'' 178:2 395-400.

Corallorhiza Mertensiana
''Corallorhiza mertensiana'', or Pacific coralroot, is a coralroot orchid native to the shady conifer forests of northwestern North America. It also goes by the common names Western coralroot and Mertens' coralroot.Turner, Mark & Phyllis Gustafson. Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest. Timber Press Field Guide. ''Corallorhiza mertensiana'' was previously considered a subspecies of ''Corallorhiza maculata'' but was given species rank in 1997 by Freudenstein. Description ''Corallorrhiza mertensiana'' is a leafless, parasitic, perennial orchid that is 6-20 inches tall. The stem is red to brownish purple. The upper petals are pink to reddish pink, with yellow to dark red veins. The lower petals are wider, dark pink to red, and have three deep red veins. Beneath the lower petal the spur is prominent. The flower spikes are visible from May to August. ''Corallorrhiza mertensiana'' has no roots, only hard, branched rhizomes that resemble coral. Fungal associations ''Corallorrhiza m ...

Corallorhiza Odontorhiza
''Corallorhiza odontorhiza,'' common name fall coral-root or small-flowered coral-root, is a species of orchid widespread across eastern and central United States, and reported also from Mexico, Central America, Quebec and Ontario. In North America, it occurs in forested areas up to an elevation of 2800 m (9300 feet). ''Corallorhiza odontorhiza'' is a non-photosynthetic species, with no chlorophyll. Hence it relies on fungi in the soil to supply it with nutrients. Stems are yellow to brown, bulbous at the base. There are no leaves. Flowers are typically reddish-purple with a white lip, the lip with small purple spots, though some plants are cleistogamous with non-opening flowers. The plant flowers from August through October in the eastern US.Freudenstein, J. V. 1997. A monograph of ''Corallorhiza'' (Orchidaceae). Harvard Papers in Botany 1(10): 5–51.Hamer, F. 1988.
