Fenestraria aurantica (University of California Botanical Garden).

In the wild, Fenestraria commonly grows under sand, except for the transparent tips, which allow light into the leaves for photosynthesis.

The plant produce optical fibers made from crystalline oxalic acid which transmit light to subterranean photosynthetic sites.

In the News

Light in Union Station wishes it were in Namibia, shining on Fenestraria photoreceptors.
