Triuris hyalina is a tiny, leafless, non-green plant from South America that lives underground on soil fungi and is not grown as a garden or houseplant. It is a mycoheterotroph, so cultivation is not practical outside specialist conservation settings.

It is small plant, no more than a few cm tall. It is mycoheterotrophic, lacking chlorophyll, and obtains its nutrients from associations with soil fungi.
