Field Notes

Description:

These plants grow attached to and penetrating within the branches of a tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they absorb nutrients from the host plant. Easy to see in winter because the host tree lacks leaves.

Habitat:

Semi desert, attached to tree branches.
