How about this? Monotropa uniflora calls Corallorhiza heterotrophic.

Did you know? In Australia and the Far East there are certain fungi which are
parasitic on certain trees. There are orchids which live off the fungi without
touching the trees, thus preserving their innocent reputation.

No, they attain nothing like that level of sophistication, and they are not
pallid creatures of the night either. How about:

I'm not that familiar with the cannonball tree. What family is it in? The
flowers are pretty, but I'd hate to have one of those fruits fall on me.

It's in the Lecythidaceae, which isn't the best-known of families, though
Barringtonia and Bertholletia are fairly well-known genera.

Lecythidaceae are a pantropical family of trees (& shrubs), with a heavy
presence in South America. Actually Lecythidaceae are a fairly interesting
family, and certainly one that is moving more and more into the spotlight.
Probably best known for the large (and very hard) spherical fruits of some
South American representatives it has many interesting features. The flowers
(with all those stamens) led to a placement in or near Myrtaceae in earlier
days, but today it is placed near Ebenaceae (in the very much expanded
Ericales).

Also the family keeps growing, and constantly seems to be absorbing small
neighbouring families. Of these Barringtoniaceae was the biggest, but it was
followed among others by (the grandiosely named) Napoleonaeaceae and
recently Scytopetalaceae.
