Duonepifito

Duonepifita sufoka figarbo en Keralo, Barato.

Duonepifito estas planto kiu pasigas parton de sia vivociklo kiel epifito. La semoj de unuarangaj duonepifitoj ĝermas en la kanopeo kaj dekomence vivas epifite. Ili sendas radikojn suben, kaj tiuj radikoj eventuale kontaktas kun la grundo. Duarangaj duonepifitoj estas radikgrimpantoj ^[1] kiuj startas kiel radikhavaj vitoj kiuj kreskiĝas supren el la arbara grundo, sed poste rompas sian konekton kun tiu.^[2] Kiam tio okazas, ili povas sendi malsupren longajn radikojn al la grundo.^[1]

Notoj

↑ ^1,0 ^1,1 Mayo et al. "Araceae" en Kubitzki (1998b The families and genera of vascular plants): "The root climbers and hemiepiphytes normally grow in humid forests, often very high in the canopy. When losing connection with the forest floor, they may send down long roots to the ground; such plants may be referred to as secondary hemiepiphytes. Hemiepiphytes and root climbers cling tightly to the bark of the host with negatively phototropic roots. Skototropism, an orientation movement towards a well-defined dark area, has been observed in Monstera tenuis and other genera and is an adaptation in juvenile plants for seeking a suitable host tree, following germination on the forest floor."
