Dichroa Dichroa is a genus of 12 species of flowering plants in the family Hydrangeaceae, native to eastern and southeastern Asia. They are deciduous shrubs growing to 1-3 m tall, with their leaves arranged in opposite pairs. The flowers are produced in a broad inflorescence similar to that of the related genus "Hydrangea".

Allotropa Allotropa virgata is in the family Ericaceae (Heath Family) and is the only species of the genus Allotropa. It is a perennial plant that gets its common names from the distinct white and red or maroon stripes along its erect peduncle. "A. virgata" are nongreen as they lack chlorophyll, instead obtaining nutrition from neighboring green plants through a fungal intermediate. "Allotropa virgata" feeds exclusively on Matsutake mushroom mycelium.
