===Bat-pollinated flowers===
Flowers can be pollinated by short-tailed bats. An example of this is the dactylanthus (''Dactylanthus taylorii''). This plant has its home under the ground acting the role of a parasite on the roots of forest trees. The dactylanthus has only its flowers pointing to the surface and the flowers lack colour but have the advantage of containing much nectar and a strong scent. These act as a useful mechanism in attracting the bat.<ref>Physics.org (2012). The University of Adelaide. "Flightless parrots, burrowing bats helped parasitic Hades flower".
