You can see aphotograph of these roots in a book
(ISBN1-84309-209-3) Orchids a practical handbook by Brian & Willma
Ritterhausan on page44. My objection to Catch roots, Trash roots etc. is that
all orchid roots gather deteritous of varying types to feed the plant. I was
trying to find a word that described the root not its function as all roots
gather feed.
Phototropism is a new word for me but having looked
it up it may be a good description - phototropic roots.
I had 3 Cirropetalum Elizabeth Ann Bucklebury
growing together on the bench. Only one developed these roots. If they are
Phototropic why only one?
