Sarcodes is the monotypic genus of a north-west American flowering springtime plant in the heath family , containing the single species Sarcodes sanguinea, commonly called the snow plant or snow flower. It is a parasitic plant that derives sustenance and nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi that attach to tree roots
The order includes trees, bushes, lianas, and herbaceous plants. Together with ordinary autophytic plants, the Ericales include chlorophyll-deficient mycoheterotrophic plants (e.g., Sarcodes sanguinea) and carnivorous plants (e.g., genus Sarracenia). Many species have five petals, often grown together.
Plant parasitism have been shown to keep invasive species under control and become keystone species in an ecosystem.

In many regions, including the Nepal Eastern Himalayas, parasitic plants are used for medicinal and ritual purposes. [30]

Some plants with a broader altitudinal range are found listed in their predominant habitat elevation. All the plant species listed are native to the Sierra's foothills, valleys, and mountains. In addition some are also endemic to here and elsewhere within California – (ca-endemic) ; and some are further endemic to and only found in the Sierra ...
To a monotypic taxon: This is a redirect from the only lower-ranking member of a monotypic plant taxon to its monotypic taxon.In a biology-related article, when for example a genus has only one species, the binomial name may be a redirect to the genus.
The overall morphology of these plants is highly reduced compared to other members of the Ericaceae, which are practically all subshrubs, shrubs, or trees.By contrast, the Monotropoideae are all herbaceous perennials, in which an annual shoot reemerges seasonally (in spring or early summer, depending on climate) from a perennial root.
