Gastrodia cunninghamii, known as the Black Orchid, is a unique and rare terrestrial orchid native to forest undergrowth in New Zealand and other parts of Oceania. It is entirely mycoheterotrophic, lacking chlorophyll and feeding via fungal networks. Grows in full shade, high humidity, and moist, well-drained soil. Nearly impossible to cultivate. Blooms are tubular and often hidden in leaf litter.
