plants that can grow in the dark?

[DR_GROSS]

          The achlorophyllous, saprophytic or mycotrophic plants,
          such as Indian Pipe or Pinesap (dicots of the genus
          Monotropa), or some of the shoot parasitic plants like
          Dodder, should be able to grow in the dark as long as
          their food source was present.  They might not be able to
          complete their life cycle, however, if dependent on light
          cues for certain processes, such as flowering, or are
          dependent on pollinators active during the day.
