Monotropa

Monotropa is a genus of three species of herbaceous perennial flowering plants that were formerly classified in the family Monotropaceae and presently are classified in Ericaceae. They are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere and are generally rare. Unlike most plants they do not have chlorophyll and therefore are non-photosynthetic; rather, they are myco-heterotrophs that obtain food through parasitism on subterranean fungi. Because they do not need any sunlight to live, they can live in very dark sites such as the floor of deep sylvae.

Species

The genus consists of the following three species:

gollark: Rewrite that as e^(some function of x), apply chain rule.
gollark: What do you mean? As in, if it involves 1/x or something like this? That's what the chain rule is for.
gollark: This can also be written as a function of x explicitly if you want (it is one implicitly).
gollark: It's the same. If you say "y = whatever (in terms of x), dy/dx = derivative of whatever (in terms of x)", this is equivalent to saying "f(x) = whatever (still in terms of x), f'(x) = derivative of whatever (in terms of x)".
gollark: Consider what is done to the x to attain your output of e^(x ln a).
