Nuytsia
''Nuytsia floribunda'' is a hemiparasitic plant found in Western Australia. The species is known locally as the Christmas tree, displaying bright orange flowers during the Christmas season. ==Description== The habit of the species is a tree up to high, or as a shrub. The rough bark is grey-brown. Flowers are a vivid yellow-orange, appearing between October and January. It is a root hemiparasite, is photosynthetic and mainly obtains water and mineral nutrients from its hosts. The haustoria arising from the roots of ''Nuytsia'' attach themselves to roots of many nearby plants and draw water and therefore nutrients from them. Almost all species are susceptible to attack; haustoria have even been found attached to underground cables. In natural settings ''Nuytsia'' withdraws relatively little from each individual host, but is attached to so many other plants that the benefit to this hemiparasitic tree is likely to be considerable.
