Thismia hyalina

Thismia hyalina, also known as the 'ghost orchid', is a rare and endangered species of flowering plant that belongs to the family Burmanniaceae.

The plant is known for its unique, white, and almost translucent flowers that are often hidden deep within the forest floor, which makes it difficult to locate.

Traditionally, Thismia hyalina has been used in folk medicine for its medicinal properties, which include antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

The plant has been used to treat various health issues, including fever, sore throats, and digestive problems, and is typically prepared as a decoction or infusion for consumption, and can also be applied topically as a paste or salve.
