[edit]Myco-heterotrophic symbiosis involves three different species, the myco-heterotroph, the mycorrhizal fungus and the autotrophic plant that the fungus is attached to. The myco-heterotroph is indirectly parasitic on the autotrophic plant, which provide organic nutrients to the mycorrhizal fungus. Thus, a myco-heterotroph can also be termed an epiparasite.
Myco-heterotrophy is not a synonym to epiparatism. Mycoheterotroph plants are either parasitic on fungi or epiparasitic. But epiparasitism in sensu stricto is a rather rare phenomen and only proven for the Monotropoidae. As far as known, every other species of MHP destroys the mycorrhiza, which grows into its roots/rhizomes. Thus all MHPs (except the Monotropoidae) are directly parasitic on fungi.

[edit]Facultative parasite & Hemiparasite & Holoparasitic all link back to this article and aren't defined anywhere in the article.

[edit]The suggested missing topic is mechanism of parasitic action, which is not explained well. The only exception being the germination stage description, which is only valid for the early life phase. Niluop (talk) 02:17, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Mistletoe is an obligate stem hemiparasite.
[edit]There is a major problem with this statement. Both Atkinsonia and Nuytsia are called by the generic and common name "mistletoe". Both attach to roots.... Please modify this statement. MargaretRDonald (talk) 00:10, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
Parasites of non-plants
[edit]This article, by the statement in its own introduction, is about plants which parasitize other plants. How about those (e. g. Sarcodes sanguinea) which parasitize a fungus, aka myco-heterotrophy? Shouldn't those be listed here, or alternatively this article be renamed as "Saprophytes" or something?
