Description: Description of the Cuscutaceae family, distribution map, and a list of parasitic species in the genus Cuscuta with photographs.
Parasitic Plant Connection - Cuscutaceae Mihai Costea at Laurier University in Ontario, Canada has constructed an amazing web Because dodder morphology mostly centers around minute details of the flowers, Mihai has attempted to show "the real thing" instead of line drawings (as seen in Yunker 1932). The basic morphology is shown using an image fusion methodology that creates the effect of extended depth-of-focus. Herbarium material was rehydrated and photographed with a stereomicroscope using oblique coherent contrast light. The priority has been to photograph type material from various herbaria. Hopefully this site will help "Cuscutologists" as well as those not yet past the "yellow spaghetti" and "mysterious identity" syndromes.
