Scientific Names

Read about Sarcodes in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Sarcodes (Greek, flesh-like). Monotropaceae. S. sanguinea, Torr. (Fig. 3548), is the Snow-plant of the Sierra Nevadas. It is a low and fleshy plant growing 3-12 in. high and entirely devoid of green lvs. It belongs to that strange family which comprises the fleshy and parasitic plants, of which the Indian-pipe or corpse-plant is an example. Few species are known in this family, and they are all local or rare. The snow-plant derives its popular name from its habit of shooting up and blossoming as soon as the snow melts away in the spring. The specific name sanguinea refers to the blood-red color of the entire plant. The snow-plant grows at an altitude of 4,000-9,000 ft. It is the only species of the genus, and is not known to be in cult. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
