Cuscuta bonafortunae Costea & I Garcia, new species published in Botany 89: 724. 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This site is intended to serve primarily as a comprehensive repository of visual biodiversity and taxonomic information for Cuscuta<\/em><\/a> (dodders, Convolvulaceae), as well as a tool for the identification of its taxa. Type collections are of paramount significance for understanding this group of parasitic plants (see \u201cobstacles in studying Cuscuta<\/em><\/a>\u201d); therefore, my priority has been to make available the morphology of these specimens first. I am beginning with the groups\/species that we have already studied, and I shall continue in the future with the remaining ones. Photos of living plants<\/a>, anatomy, and scanning electron microscopy<\/a> are also gradually added. Secondly, I plan to gradually gather here information about the evolution and phylogeny of Cuscuta<\/em>, ethnobotany, pharmacology, biology and ecology, conservation and invasiveness.<\/p>\n

If you would like to have your dodder(s) identified, I have good news: often a few dried flowers\/capsules sent via regular mail are enough to make a positive identification (contact Mihai<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
