GlossaryCuscuta reflexa

parasitic plant that extracts nutrients from host plants

Cuscuta reflexa, commonly known as giant dodder, is a parasitic plant that lacks chlorophyll and relies on host plants for nutrients. It attaches to the host using specialized structures called haustoria, which penetrate the host's tissues to extract water and nutrients, often weakening or killing the host plant.
