Orobanche coerulescens,
an annual herb in sandy soil in coastal areas, grows parasitically
on plants in Asteraceae
like Artemisia
capillaris.
The whole is downy, and stems are thick, yellow-brown, erect, and
grow to 10-25 cm in height, with some degenerated leaves in a scaly
way. The upper portions of the branches bear racemose inflorescences
with numerous light purple flowers. Corollas are lip-shaped, about
2cm long; calyxes are divided into two, and the lobes are cleft in
two afresh. Bloom time: May-July. |
