Of the root of an Orchid influence of sunlight, yet they look like parasitic and saprophytic plants destituteof chlorophyll. They are of a whitish colour and always grow in great cushion-like sods, so that the spots where they grow are deficient in verdure, and standout conspicuously from their surroundings in consequence of their pale investigation at once explains this appearance. The cells containingchlorophyll and living active protoplasts are relatively small, and, as it were,wedged and hidden between other cells many times as great, which have entirelylost their protoplasm by the time they are mature, and then cause the paleness ofcolour appertaining to the plant as a whole. The walls of these large colourless cellsare very thin, and in the Bog-mosses have spiral thickening-bands runni
