Title: Parasitic plant
Post by: John J on November 01, 2014, 01:30:27 PM
On the MGS trip to Morocco in March this parasitic Cistanche phelypaea was photographed in the central island of a dual carriageway outside Agadir Airport. This week I discovered that a handful of these same plants had been found growing in Cyprus, in the vicinity of Akrotiri Salt Lake. To date the only ones ever seen on the island I believe.
