Orobanche latisquama
Also called Broomrape, Broomrapes, Broom Rape Family
Orobanche latisquama is a species of broomrape in the family Orobanchaceae native to the western Mediterranean Basin. It is a parasite of rosemary and probably other shrubs (Cistus spp., Genista spp.).
Orobanche latisquama is native to the Iberian Peninsula (in central Portugal and south and east Spain), Northwest Africa (Morocco and Algeria) and the Balearic Islands (in Ibiza and Formentera). In Portugal it is mainly found in the Serras de Aire e Candeeiros Natural Park, Estremoz, and along the Tagus river basin. It inhabits woods, sclerophyllous shrublands and pine forests, on generally calcareous soils.
