Orobanche baumanniorum GREUTER |
|
Fam.: Orobanchaceae / Broomrape Fam.
 |
| Genus: Orobanche L. |
Few meters away from the Pterocephalus perennis population with several Orobanche baumanniorum (Fig. 1 and 2) the single Orobanche shown in Fig. 3 grew together with Clinopodium alpinum subsp. meridionale. I assume that the roots of the old Pterocephalus perennis population extend that far and that this Broomrape is also Orobanche baumanniorum. Orobanche baumanniorum has first been found in 1974 at Parnitha, North of Athens, by the Baumann couple, and described in 1987 by Greuter. |
