Orobanche Aegyptiaca Var. Aemula

Orobanche aegyptiaca var. aemula is a parasitic plant known for its unique ability to draw nutrients from host plants. It lacks chlorophyll and relies entirely on its host for survival. This species is commonly found in arid and semi-arid regions across Africa and the Middle East. Its flowers are typically small and pale, often going unnoticed in the wild. Despite its lack of traditional photosynthesis, it plays a significant role in ecological systems.
