I believe the plant species is striped wintergreen (Chimaphila maculata) or at least something in that genus

"#wintergreens are partial #mycoheterotrophs, which means that they have an alternative to #photosynthesis for acquiring their energy to grow. They can parasitically take sugars and minerals from #fungus in woodland #soils. This ability is likely part of why they are so challenging to propagate in captivity. There have also been suggestions that the presence of specific #fungi is necessary for the tiny seeds to germinate."
