Indeed, at the first glance, it seems that with numerous epiphytes their whole diversity is concentrated in the canopy and there is nothing worth attention of a botanist at the ground. However, at closer inspection, there are dozens of herbaceous species growing on the forest floor, some of them yet unknown to science. Among them, tiny achlorophyllous plants nourished by symbiotic fungi, called mycoheterotrophs, are of particular interest in recent years. These plants are both directly and indirectly heavily dependent on co-existence with a number of organisms, which may be the reason why they are often restricted to primary undisturbed tropical rainforests.
