Dactylanthus taylorii
''Dactylanthus taylorii'', commonly known as wood rose or Hades flower, is a fully parasitic plant that grows on the roots of certain trees in New Zealand. The host tree responds to the presence of ''Dactylanthus'' by forming a burl-like structure that resembles a fluted wooden rose (hence the common name). Māori names for wood rose are ''pua o te reinga'' or ''pua reinga'' ("flower of the underworld") and ''waewae atua'', "feet of gods". It is monotypic to the ''Dactylanthus'' genus. One of its most common host trees is pate or seven-finger (''Schefflera digitata'').
==Description==
Plants are either male or female. They flower between January and April and are primarily pollinated by the native New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat. The nectar exudes a musky smell that resembles mammalian sweat. Introduced mice and rats also pollinate them, although rats tend to destroy them. It flowers between February and May,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dactylanthus / pua o te reinga )〕 producing fruits slightly under long.〔 The plant has no green leaves, and roots are also absent, the plant being connected to the host by its stem. Some plants have been aged in excess of 30 years old.〔 It prefers damp but not waterlogged soil, and is often found at the head of small streams. It tends to live under dense canopies of tall trees, but some specimens may be found at forest borders.
The plant is cryptic, hence hard to survey, but more than a few thousand in existence is unlikely. Most of these are in the North Island, including Northland, Coromandel Peninsula, East Coast, and central regions, but a few are on Little Barrier Island. Many sites likely are known only to collectors, as the woody growth has commercial value.
