Monotropsis odorata Schwein. ex Elliot

Monotropsis odorata, also known as sweet pinesap or pygmy pipes is a member of the subfamily Monotropoidiae of the blueberry family, the Ericaceae. It was formerly placed in the Monotropaceae or Pyrolaceae. It is native to the Appalachian Mountains in the southeastern United States, and is viewed as being uncommon throughout its range.

Like all members of the subfamily, Monotropsis odorata does not contain chlorophyll; it is a myco-heterotroph, getting its food through parasitism upon fungi rather than photosynthesis. These fungi form a mycorrhiza with nearby tree species.
