Types of Aeginetia

Indian broomrape

The indian broomrape is a holoparasite, meaning it obtains all of its nutrients from a host plant's root system. Since it does not generate its own glucose from sunlight, it does not have chlorophyll and so does not appear green. In some regions indian broomrape is placed in shrines or upon altars as a symbol of the Hindu gods, Shiva and Parvati.
