Hexalectris revoluta, the Chisos Mountain crested coralroot,[1] is a terrestrial, myco-heterotrophic orchid lacking chlorophyll and subsisting entirely on nutrients obtained from mycorrhizal fungi in the soil. It is closely related to H. colemanii; the two are regarded by some authors as varieties of the same species. Hexalectris revoluta is native to western Texas , southeastern New Mexico and Chihuahua.[2][3]
