Monotropa hypopitys, the so-called Dutchman's pipe, false beech-drops, pinesap, or yellow bird's-nest, is a
Unlike most plants, it does not contain
Plants are fleshy and grow 10–35 cm tall. True stems are nonexistent. Instead, the only part which emerges from the soil are unbranched, adventitious
The species name is from Latinized Greek hypo-, "under", and pitys, "pine", referring to where pinesap often grows.[7] However, Linnaeus misspelled it hypopithys. Many authorities have followed his spelling.[8][9][10] On the other hand, it has been stated that the spelling "is generally treated as correctable to 'hypopitys'",[11] as followed by other authorities.[12] The variability of the species in colour, hairiness, and in the number of flowers, has led to an extensive synonymy for the species. The entire list is over 80 synonyms;[3] some of which include Hypopitys americana, H. fimbriata, H. insignata, H. lanuginosa, H. latisquama, H. monotropa, Monotropa chinensis, M. hypophegea, M. lanuginosa, M. latisquama, M. multiflora and M. taiwaniana.
In California, Monotropa hypopitys may be confused for the much less common Pityopus or Hemitomes which are superficially similar.
