Ibrahim, please tell me about the Cytinus hypocistus. It looks like another of those parasitic plants, like Orobanche and Lathraea which need a hopst plant, presumably, in this case, Cistus. Obviously there are plenty around

[I.S.]

    Yes. Lesley! there were plenty of cistus all around. I have seen these parasitic plants on the root of
dried cistus. when I have seen them I thougt they could be different plants. But they were  attached to some roots. I was cheking in the net about cistus then I have seen them with that name.

     best regards....
