Orobanche, commonly known as broomrape, is a genus of almost 200 species of small parasitic herbaceous plants, mostly native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere. (wikipedia.org)
The flower shoots are scaly, with a dense terminal spike of 10-20 flowers in most species, although single in one-flowered broomrape (Orobanche uniflora). (wikipedia.org)
Branched broomrape Orobanche ramosa, native to central and southwestern Europe but widely naturalised elsewhere, is considered a major threat to crops in some areas. (wikipedia.org)
The bean broomrape Orobanche crenata, which targets the fava bean, has stems that are gathered and eaten in the Italian region of Apulia. (wikipedia.org)

I'm not sure if I've seen California broomrape (Orobanche californica) on Vancouver Island before so when I saw a few plants on the rocky shoreline in East Sooke Regional Park I was pretty excited. (islandnature.ca)
My last blog was on the common broomrape, Orobanche minor, the only species I had seen on campus in the past few years. (reading.ac.uk)
The following species are recognised in the genus Orobanche: Orobanche aconiti-lycoctoni Moreno Mor. (wikipedia.org)
The red-based glandular hairs on the corolla separate Orobanche alba from all our other broomrapes except the rare easterly species Orobanche reticulata . (makaques.com)
Weeds of the genus Orobanche parasitize many dicotyledonous species, causing severe damage to vegetable and field crops worldwide. (agri.gov.il)
A new Penn State university study found 52 cases of nonsexual transfer of DNA -- or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) -- from a host plants into a parasitic species known as broomrapes (genus Orobanche ). (zmescience.com)
Strigolactones (SLs) are plant hormones exuded in the rhizosphere with a signaling role for the development of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and as stimulants of seed germination of the parasitic weeds Orobanche, Phelipanche, and Striga, the most threatening weeds of major crops worldwide.

Uniflora3
The flower shoots are scaly, with a dense terminal spike of 10-20 flowers in most species, although single in one-flowered broomrape (Orobanche uniflora). (wikipedia.org)
UCJEPS: Jepson Interchange: Orobanche uniflora L. var. (berkeley.edu)
Orobanche uniflora differs by having hairless scale leaves, one to three flowers per plant in white, cream, lilac, or violet, and lance to awl-shaped calyx lobes that are longer than the calyx tube. (asu.edu)
Ludoviciana1
Orobanche ludoviciana is a perennial plant that can grow up to 1.50 metres tall. (theferns.info)
Fasciculata3
Orobanche fasciculata has white lobes to the tubular corolla. (asu.edu)
Orobanche fasciculata grows at middle elevations and has been seen parasitizing Artemisia carruthii. (asu.edu)
Orobanche is from Greek orobos, a kind of vetch, and anchone, choke or strangle because of the parasitic nature of the genus, while fasciculata means bundles, which describes the way the leaves attach to the stem in fascicles. (asu.edu)
