Harveya purpurea (L. fil.) Harv. ex Hook.

Harveya purpurea ( Inglês )

fornecido por wikipedia EN

Harveya purpurea is an annual herb with large, showy flowers and scale-like leaves, parasitic on the roots of shrubs and trees, endemic to South Africa in the Eastern and Western Cape.[2][3] It occurs from the Cederberg to the Cape Peninsula, and along the coastal belt to Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape, mainly among fynbos, on stony slopes and sandy flats.[4]

Harveya species are native to Africa, Madagascar, and Yemen. This species is holoparasitic, that is, entirely nonphotosynthetic, with a preference for members of the Campanulaceae such as Roella and Wahlenbergia. The disabling of the photosynthesis gene has happened independently several times in Scrophulariales.[5][6]
