Dendrophylax lindenii, the ghost orchid
The bulk of the plant consists only of flat, cord-like, green roots with distinctive "track marks". These white track marks are called pneumatodes and function in much the same manner as stomata allowing the photosynthetic roots to perform gas exchange to support photosynthesis. These roots are used for moisture absorption and their chloroplasts for photosynthesis
