Summary
[edit]DescriptionKnapweed Broomrape (Orobanche elatior) - geograph.org.uk - 1362830.jpg |
English: Knapweed Broomrape (Orobanche elatior). Broomrapes are wholly parasitic plants - because they have no need to photosynthesise in order to meet their nutrient requirements, they have no chlorophyll. As a result, they are virtually leafless (the leaves have been reduce to a few scales down the stem) and lack any green pigment. Some are host specific, generally indicated by their English name; others are more generalists.
As its name suggests, the Knapweed Broomrape is host specific, being found on Greater Knapweed (Centaurea scabiosa), the leaves of a flowerless plant of which can be seen round the base of the Broomrape (see 1362823 for an example in flower, without attendant parasite!). The Knapweed Broomrape is a prominent plant, both in stature and colour, and a reasonable number can be found at Noar Hill. |
