Cuscuta Planiflora Var. Approximata

Cuscuta planiflora var. approximata is a parasitic flowering plant known for its lack of chlorophyll and reliance on host plants for nutrients. This species is commonly found in various regions of the United States and parts of Canada. Its small, yellowish flowers bloom in late spring and early summer. The plant's unique life cycle involves attaching to host plants through specialized tendrils. Despite its parasitic nature, it plays a role in ecological systems by influencing host plant growth and diversity.
