Apodanthaceae

Apodanthaceae are remarkable parasitic plants, largely invisible until their flowering stage. They fuse entirely with their host's tissues, lacking visible leaves, roots, or stems themselves. Their flowers, which emerge directly from the host, are often vivid and structured to facilitate specific pollinator interactions. This adaptation allows apodanthaceae to thrive discreetly within various ecosystems, exploiting host resources effectively.
