Cymbidium macrorhizon (orchid species)
A leafless, mycoheterotrophic orchid native to Japan and parts of East Asia. The name is usually written in katakana.
Cymbidium macrorhizon is an unusual orchid that does not photosynthesize and obtains nutrients from fungi.
Kanji spelling is rare; the plant name is almost always written in katakana.
The name マヤラン likely derives from 摩耶 (Maya, possibly referring to Maya, the mother of Buddha) and 蘭 (ran, 'orchid'), but the exact origin is uncertain.
