Gymnosiphon suaveolens is a flowering plant in the family Burmanniaceae.

[2][3] It can be found from Mexico to Ecuador and Venezuela.

It mostly grows in tropical rainforests and lives parasitically on fungus to survive.

[4] It can remain underground for many years, emerging only when the conditions are right to flower and fruit.
