Ever Heard Of Suicide Palm Or Underground Orchid Or Baseball Plant Or Bleeding Tooth Plant Or Living Stone Plant Or Golf Ball Plant!!!

Find out the details of these amazing plants

 

Underground Orchid

This unusual orchid spends its entire life underground. It even flowers underground, in late May and early June, producing more than a hundred cream to reddish flowers, and a strong fragrance.

It only lives in the Broom bush shrub land in western Australia. It lacks chlorophyll so cannot draw energy from sunlight like most plants. Instead it takes nutrients from the roots of broom bush, by parasitizing the fungi associated with it.

There are thought to be fewer than 50 plants. The species has not been assessed by the IUCN, but Western Australia classes it as critically endangered.

Bleeding tooth fungus Or Hydnellum Peckii

Hydnellum peckii is a special type of fungi that produce blood or juice like fluid on its surface. This plant is also known as ‘bleeding tooth fungus’. It is the Scarlet pigment causes blood like the color on the fluid of this plant. This strange plant mainly found across North America and Europe. It is edible, but the blood like fluid is extremely bitter in taste.

Hydnellum peckii has an unpleasant odor. The color of fluids on Hydnellum peckii can be varied as orange or pink.

Living stones Or Lithop

Lithop can be described as living stones, a plant that exactly look like stones or pebbles. In fact, its unique shape causes by the merging of two separate leaves at the outer edges of the plant. The leaves of the lithop plant grow in the very rainy season.This extremely strange plant species mainly found in South Africa.
 
The thick pebble like leaves is main visible parts of lithops. Unlike other plants the leaves of lithop are in brown or gray. Lithops can be found in various colors like white, gray, pink and purple. Lithops will live for more than 50 year

Golf Plant

Found only in the mountains of Queretaro in Mexico, the golf ball is a small white-ish cactus that looks, you've guessed it, like a golf ball. Its beautiful pink flowers have made it popular among horticulturists, so many wild cacti are illegally collected. As a result, the population has dropped more than 95% over the last 20 years.

Welwitschia Mirabilis

Welwitschia Mirabilis is a unique plant that only found in the desert of Namibia. The estimated lifespan of this strange looking plant is between 500 and 1500 years. It can survive within many extreme weather conditions. The most interesting thing about Welwitschia is the plant only has two leaves that grow continuously over time.  This strange species also have separate male and female plants.

Suicide Palm

The suicide palm is a gigantic palm found only in remote parts of north-west Madagascar. It lives for about 50 years, then flowers only once, and dies soon after.

Suicide palms were discovered in 2005, by a cashew plantation manager during a family outing, and formally described in 2008. With trunks reaching 18m in height, and huge fan-leaves up to 5m across, the palms can be seen on Google Earth. There are only about 90 in the wild.

Baseball Plant Or Euphorbia obesa

It is generally known as euphorbia obesa native to South Africa. The plant has exactly the same shape of a baseball. It is an unbranched plant with an average height of 20 cm. The special species of baseball plant is protected by national nature conservation as it is very rare in the world.
 
Male and female flowers of euphorbia obesa grow on different plants.Baseball plants are quite toxic, makes severe skin problems. 

Venus Flytrap

Venus flytrap also known as dionaea muscipula is a carnivorous plant. It means the plant consumes small insects and animals as food. Venus flytraps can be found in the Eastern Carolia especially in wet inhabitants. Venus flytrap has special lobes to trap the prey animals.

The venus flytrap close its lobes immediately when the insects comes in contact with the plant.This plant will digest the insects within a time span of 10 days.The leaves venus flytrap opens its lobes widely to catch the prey

Amazing Unknown Facts About Tree's!

Interestingly These Facts Are True And Proven

 

We Bring You 7 Such Facts Which May Change Your The Way You Think About Tree's

 

 

7)They’re Just As Stressed As We Are

Trees are very sensitive to their environments. The disruption of an ecosystem—whether caused by man or nature—can greatly stress a tree. In urban environments, poor soil quality, overcrowded tree planters, and competition for water between different plants are the most common stress to trees. If not treated, such stress can inhibit a tree’s growth or photosynthesis cycle. So, the next time you see a stressed tree, help it out! Keep your soil nutrient-rich and give your trees plenty of space to breath.

6)Single tree produce 2,721 kilograms (5,998.78 pounds) of oxygen per year 

 

A single 30-meter-tall mature tree can absorb as much as 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds) of carbon dioxide in a year, which over it’s lifetime is approximately the

same amount as would be produced by an average car being driven 41,500 kilometers (25,787 miles). The same tree could also produce 2,721 kilograms (5,998.78 pounds) of oxygen in a year, which is enough to support at least two people. According to the University of Melbourne, because trees grow faster the older they get, their capacity for photosynthesis and carbon sequestration increases as they age.

5)A single tree supports 284 species of insects

You probably knew that trees were good for wildlife but did you know just how good? For example, the common English Oak (Quercus robur) can support hundreds of different species, including 284 species of insect and 324 taxa (species, sub-species, and varieties) of lichens living directly on the tree. These in turn provide food for numerous birds and small mammals. The acorns of oak trees (which don’t usually appear until the tree is around 40 years old) are food for dozens of species, including wild boar (and now more commonly pigs), jays, pigeons, pheasants, ducks, squirrels, mice, badgers, and deer.

4)A single tree has cooling effect of 10 AC

Most people know that trees near buildings can raise property prices by an average of 14 percent in the U.K. and as much as up to 37 percent in the U.S. But trees can also have an impact on the energy used for heating and cooling a building, reducing air conditioning costs by as much as 30 percent and saving 20 to 50 percent on energy for heating. This is because as well as providing shade, a large tree can also transpire as much as 378.5 liters (100 gallons) of water into the air per day. This has a cooling effect roughly equivalent to 10 single room-sized air conditioning units operating 20 hours a day!

3)Did trees really kill the dinosaurs?

There is a theory that the evolution of tall, woody, flowering trees (angiosperms) might have played a pivotal role in the extinction of the dinosaurs. It is believed, by some, that the speed at which flowering plants evolved on Earth (possibly spurred on by rapid climate change) occurred too quickly for dinosaurs to adapt their diets. Flowering plants are better at producing oxygen. With the rapid increase in flowering plants, scientists suggest that the metabolism of large herbivorous dinosaurs might have increased to the point that they could not eat enough food to sustain their increased metabolism. Well this theory is hard to believe. But not this one Powerful Plants That Can Purify The Air In Your Home

2)Tree's communicate for self defense 

Trees are masters of both self-defense and communication. Scientists have found that when attacked by insects, trees can flood their leaves with chemicals called phenolics. These noxious compounds are distasteful to tree pests and can even impede their growth. What’s amazing is that once a tree is attacked, it will “signal" to other nearby trees to also start their self-defense, before they are attacked! Methods of communication include releasing chemicals into the wind and possibly even sending chemical or electric signals through the michorizal network of roots (a network of shared fungus fibers). 

1)The oldest living thing on Earth is 80,000 years old 

Although already discussed in one of the earlier post in detail

The oldest living organism on Earth is believed to be the “Pando" colony of Quaking Aspen (Populus tremuloides) in Utah, also known as the Trembling Giant. The colony of trees covers some 41.7 hectares (103 acres) and is estimated to weigh nearly 6,000,000 kilograms (6,600 tons), making it also the heaviest known organism. Being a clonal colony, the tree “trunks" all share identical genetic makeup. It is estimated that parts of the inter-connected root stock that links the colony together is in excess of 80,000 years old!
