Nutrition
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"The cuscuta does not twine round every kind of support: for instance, limbs of animals, dead vegetable matter, metals and inorganic substances are not used for this purpose, but only living plants, and not even all kinds—not mosses, for instance—only those from which it can extract nourishment by its papillæ; and these attract it from a considerable distance."--Treviranus cited in On the Will in Nature (1836) by Arthur Schopenhauer |
