Title: Orobanche
Post by: barnclos on June 26, 2018, 12:42:25 PM

This was found on dry limestone hillside at 1800 metres, above Villars in Switzerland. My Flora Helvetica lists 20 species of Orobache, of which Orobanche laserpitii-sileris looks the most similar (and there were Laserpitium growing in the vicinity).

Any help with identification would be most welcome.

Seems to be a very good year for orobanche hederae this year here. Anyone actually managed to grow this by distributing the seed around? It is readily available commercially too.
