''Boschniakia rossica'', commonly known as the northern groundcone, is a holoparasitic plant that lives in the northern latitudes of the northern hemisphere.In the Pacific Northwest Temperate Rainforest, it does not grow south of Prince of Wales Island, beyond that boundary is the Vancouver groundcone habitat. It does not contain chlorophyll, so it must be parasitic to obtain nutrients. It specializes on ''Alnus'' species, but can parasitize off of other trees and shrubs such as on ''Betula'' (birch), ''Salix'' (willow), ''Vaccinium'' (blueberry), ''Picea'' (spruce), and ''Chamaedaphne'' (leatherleaf shrub). This organism is likely to be found at mid elevations alongside rivers and streams, where moisture is abundant. This species propagates itself through water flow. In some places bears are known to have eaten the starchy roots, or tubers, of this plant. == Morphology == ''B. rossica'' grows between 6–12 inches, with two or three stems per individual. It has tall slender stalks. The roots grow horizontally from a main bulbous mass. It can vary from very dark maroon to reddish brown in color. This is a perennial plant, and flowers every summer. It can produce up to 300,000 seeds. ''B. rossica'' very much looks like a pine cone growing up out of the ground.
