Balanophora is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll, and steals its nutrients from tree roots. It lives beneath the rainforest floor, where once in a while, it sends up an orb that glows like the moon.

Tasmania's alpine glacier lakes are the haven for many tiny but rare aquatic plant species. In this video, you can see three Drosera spp., two Isoetes spp., one Trithuria sp., one Utricularia sp. and one Centrolepis sp., and they all grow next to two each other in an area of 2 m2
