The genus is stem parasitic angiosperms that parasitize a wide range of vascular plants via de novo formation of a distinctive parasitic organ called a haustorium. In the developing haustorium, meristematic cells, which are initiated from the stem cortical tissue, differentiate into haustorial paren...
