Description
Thismia rodwayi, also known as a fairy lantern, is a non-chlorophyllous plant belonging to the Burmanniaceae family, found in the southern states of Australia ( Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales) and in several locations in New Zealand. [2] Zoophily: Mammals such as the potoroo ( Potorous tridactylus) are known to feed on roots and subterranean fungus in similar habitats and could serve as pollinators. Another possible vector could be the superb lyrebird ( Menura novaehollandiae). [1]
OR CUT AND GLUE: This is what I did here. After you print the designsor draw them, cut them out with scissors and a craft knife for details. If you happen to have a silhouette cutting machine, use it ( Crircut tutorial and Silhouette Cameo tutorial)! Glue the designs onto the sprayed jars with clear glue, like Elmer’s. Last, I attached the silhouette with the fairies dancing in the air using a little piece of double-sided tape. You can watch a video tutorial here. Each individual plant usually produces only one flower per bloom cycle, occasionally two; plants can be found in groups of 2 to 5 (and up to 12) in an area of less than 1 m 2.

The researchers provided an updated description of Thismia kobensis to flesh out the original description that was based on an incomplete museum specimen . Their close examinationhighlighted how Thismia kobensis differs from the similar species Thismia huangii. The rediscovered species can be distinguished by its short and wide ring as well as the many short hairs on its stigma. Based on their analysis of various characteristics, the researchers determined that Thismia kobensis is a distinct species, with unique characteristics and evolutionary history. The newly discovered location of Thismia kobensis makes it the northernmost known Asian fairy lantern species. This discovery may offer new insights into the systematic affinity and biogeography of the mysterious fairy lantern, Thismia americana, which was originally thought to be related to some species in Australia and New Zealand. Thismia americana discovered over 100 years ago is the only North American fairy lantern species and was observed for a few years on a prairie near Chicago, but is now considered extinct. The presence of the mainly tropical genus Thismia in temperate North America remains a mystery, especially since the species considered to be its closest relative, Thismia rodwayi, is found in Australia and New Zealand. This strange distribution pattern continues to puzzle botanists.The research has been described in a new study in Phytotaxa.

Credit: Photographed by Kenji Suetsugu There currently exist two main hypotheses concerning the mechanisms of Thismia rodwayi's pollination: In June 2021, it was unexpectedly rediscovered by the second author Kohei Yamana in a coniferous plantation in Sanda City, Hyogo Prefecture. Our rediscovery of T. kobensis over 30 km away from the type locality suggests that more extensive surveys during the flowering season could provide critical insight into its distribution and rarity, with implications for conservation.” Thiele, Kevin; Jordan, P (5 July 2002).

They thrive underground, with their vibrant flowers emerging from the soil, sometimes giving them the appearance of mushrooms. Approximately 90 species of Thismia have been discovered, but many are only known from their place of origin and some may have already gone extinct.

Prepare the jars by washing themthoroughly, as any oily residue will interfere with paint adhesion. a b c d Wapstra, M.; Roberts, N.; Larcombe, M.; Leaman, T. (2011). "Distribution, habitat characteristics and conservation management of Prasophyllum stellatum (Ben lomond leek-orchid), a forest-dependent threatened species". Tasforests. 19: 28–41. Entomophily: Fungus gnats could be constrained inside the floral tube, and be forced to exit through the gaps between the anthers, thus coating themselves in pollen. [6]They live entirely underground – except when their lantern-like glowers rise above the soil during the wet season – and are sometimes mistaken for mushrooms. Because most mycoheterotrophic plants obtain their carbon indirectly from photosynthetic plants via shared mycorrhizal [fungal and plant] networks, they are highly dependent on the activities of both the fungi and trees that sustain them," the researchers wrote in the study. "Consequently, they are particularly sensitive to environmental disturbances, often rendering them both rare and endangered."
