0 a plant that grows on another plant but does not feed from it, for example, some mosses -- 附生植物，气生植物（生长在另一植物上却从别处获得养料的植物，如苔藓）
Before an epiphyte was removed from the host tree, we enclosed it in a plastic bag to prevent highly mobile animals from escaping.
In other words, successful establishment of these epiphytes is more likely in close vicinity to the parent plants.
Because of its warm and continuously humid environment, epiphytes make up a conspicuous portion of this moist broadleaved evergreen forest.
Proportions of epiphyte nutrient capital are presented in parentheses.
Rainforest airconditioning: the moderating influence of epiphytes on the microclimate in tropical tree crowns.
Such a spatial association is analogous to epiphyte ant-gardens in which the plants grow principally on arboreal ant nests.
Closed, hatched line, vertical line and open indicate trees, herbs, climbers and epiphytes, respectively.
In the lowland forests, some trees were nearly free of epiphytes while others were covered almost as densely as trees in the mountains.
