Question

What is the speciality of loranthus and cuscutta

Answer 1

Answer:

LORANTHUS

• Loranthus is a genus of parasitic plants that grow on the branches of woody trees.
• It belongs to the family Loranthaceae, the showy mistletoe family.
• In most earlier systematic treatments it contains all mistletoe species with bisexual flowers, though some species have reversed to unisexual flowers.
• Other treatments restrict the genus to a few species. The systematic situation of Loranthus is not entirely clear.

CUSCUTTA

• Cuscutta is a genus of about 100–170 species of yellow, orange, or red (rarely green) parasitic plants.
• Formerly treated as the only genus in the family Cuscutaceae, it now is accepted as belonging in the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae, on the basis of the work of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group.

• The genus is found throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world, with the greatest species diversity in subtropical and tropical regions; the genus becomes rare in cool temperate climates, with only four species native to northern Europe.
