I am not sure abt the cholrophyll part. What about partial ones, like Santalum album, which is root parasite in initial stages, but still has chlorophyll? Some Striga sp. are supposed to be root parasites, but they still have chlorophyll- even Striga orobanchoides, which is red in colour still has chlorophyll in it, although masked by red pigments I think. The only way of knowing a root parasite, is by digging it out and checking its attachment with roots of other species. Would like to know from other ecologists aparna
Garg ji Just for information. A root parasite won't have green colour (chlorophyll) on any part. Here green sepals are clearly seen. The leaves must have fallen down. It is most probably Abutilon or Sida. On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 2:32 PM, Gurcharan Singh <[email protected]> wrote: > Mayur ji > No need to confuse with Verbascum chinense.
