Orobanchaceae is a group of perennial herbs known for their narrow, tube-like flowers that predominantly bloom in shades of dark purple.

The arrangement of leaves along the stem and the distinct floral structure make orobanchaceae identifiable, adapted to attract specific pollinators in their native rugged habitats.
