Orobanche Sinensis Var. Cyanescens

Orobanche sinensis var. cyanescens is a parasitic plant native to parts of Asia known for its striking blue flowers. It lacks chlorophyll and relies entirely on host plants for nutrients. This species is often found in forested areas where it attaches to the roots of other plants. Its unique appearance and ecological role make it a subject of scientific interest. Despite its beauty, it poses challenges for agriculture due to its parasitic nature.
