Corn maidens

The corn maidens are a race of beings that exist in the Lands Below. Without light, they appear as "droopy, brownish-green plants" about "a foot high" with "their leaves ... flat on the ground around them, wilted and lifeless."
When Maximilian King and Alexandra Quick encounter them in May 2009, King casts a powerful light from his wand, causing the maidens to stir; their "leaves curled upwards, reaching towards the light, and the sagging stalks began to straighten." The half-dead plants "began growing, stretching upwards, and the leaves parted ... as arms and heads appeared"; "shoulders and torsos emerged" to reveal pretty young naked female forms that "looked like Indian maidens, with long hair ... in wide plaits that merged with their stalks."
