pinesap /ˈpʌɪnsap/noun North AmericanA woodland plant related to wintergreen, lacking chlorophyll and bearing one or more waxy bell-shaped flowers.- Two species in the family Monotropaceae: the violet-scented sweet pinesap (Monotropsis odorata), and the yellow bird’s-nest.
The flowers of Pinesap are in clusters, while each stem of Indian Pipe is solitary....- Pinesap, like its relative Indian pipe has no chlorophyll, so it cannot obtain energy from sunlight. Instead, it gets nutrients from organic matter in the soil.
- Because Pinesap is an indirect parasite of the autotrophic plant, it is sometimes referred to as an epiparasite.
