orquídeas del género Stelis Explanation: I ran a Google search just in case, but all occurrences of "leech plant" seem to be fantasy RPGs and things like those. I think the author meant to say "leaches" (orchids of the genus Stelis)... Sometimes, the pen follows the ear, or rather the keyboard follows the ear! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 mins (2012-01-18 08:43:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- BTW, Stelis should be in italics. |

líquenes Explanation: May be there is a typo and they meant "lichens" instead of leeches. Lichens are composite organisms consisting of a symbiotic organism composed of a fungus (the mycobiont) with a photosynthetic partner. |

plantas parásitas Explanation: Porque chupan los nutrientes de las plantas y las matan, igual que las sanguijuelas (EN leech). Véase definiciones de leech y plantas parásitas en links. Por ejemplo, las correhuelas suelen hacer esto y son muy temidas por los horticultores: http://www.botanical-online.com/medicinalscorrehuelacastella... Example sentence(s):
