Thismia Rodwayi
''Thismia rodwayi'', or fairy lantern, is a non-chlorophyllous plant belonging to the ''Burmanniaceae'' family, found in the southern states of Australia (Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales) and in several locations in New Zealand. The small number of known individuals of this species has put it under Schedule 5 (Rare) of the Tasmanian Threatened Species Protection Act 1995. However, ''Thismia rodwayi'' is not considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Biology ''Thismia rodwayi'' is a small reddish-yellowish flower – the lantern – seemingly without stem and leaves. The plant most often emerges from the forest floor or lies hidden under the litter. As it does not contain any chlorophyll, the mature plant consists of a flower stalk and roots, both devoid of chlorophyll.''Listing Statement for ''Thismia Rodwayi'' (Fairy lanterns)'', Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment, http://dpipwe.tas.gov.au/Documents/Th ...
