Prosopanche: a remarkable genus of parasitic plants by Hatt, SA, Cameron, DD, Grace, OM, Rocamundi, N, Cocucci, AA, Martel, C, Thorogood, CJ

“…Growing almost entirely underground with a complete lack of leaves, plants of Prosopanche bear more resemblance to fungi than plants and have many remarkable aspects to their life history and ecology that require further investigation. Here, we provide an up-to-date revision of the current state of understanding of Prosopanche, including taxonomy, biogeography, plant-pollinator ecology and host-parasite interactions. …”
