In Japan, scientists have found a species of plants that do not bloom and do not use in the activity of photosynthesis.
This the scientists called Gastrodia kuroshimensis, because it was discovered on the island of the Kuroshio.
Scientists have long been interested in such plants. They are called michitariteru, and they live at the expense of fungi, which cling like parasitic organisms. Such plants do not use photosynthesis, which with the help of light energy allows organisms to grow, to blossom and grow. In the nature of michitariteru very little.
In addition, such rare species are small in size. In April of this year, a scientist monitoring Suetsugu discovered and described about a hundred samples of Gastrodia kuroshimensis. This kind never blooms (cleistogamy), and reproduction, it is in the process of selfing in closed buds.
