Quinchamalium

Quinchamalium is a fascinating perennial herb that stands out due to its striking yellow to orange-red inflorescence that rises above sparse, scale-like leaves. Commonly emerging from a woody rhizome, it thrives in dry, open settings often bordering forests. Adapted to these environments, quinchamalium employs a parasitic lifestyle, drawing nourishment from nearby plant roots, which is key to its survival in nutrient-poor soils.
