'''''Afrothismia winkleri''''' is a species of plant in the [[Burmanniaceae]] family native to [[Cameroon]].{{R|POWO|CHEEK}} Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, and it is threatened by habitat loss.{{R|IUCN}} It was first described (as ''Thismia winkleri'') by German botanist [[Adolf Engler]] in 1905.{{R|POWO}}<br />
<br />
This plant is [[wikt:holomycotrophic|holomycotrophic]], meaning that it doesn't perform [[photosynthesis]], and instead it forms a [[symbiosis|symbiotic]] relationship with certain species of fungi, from which it draws all of it nutrients. Only the flowers and fruit of the plant appear above ground.{{R|POWO|CHEEK}}<br />
<br />
In 2023, botanist [[Martin Cheek]] placed the species in the new family Afrothismiaceae, however [[Plants of the World Online]] and other authorities still keep it in the family Burmanniaceae.{{R|CHEEK|POWO|COL|GBIF}}<br />
