Description: Dodder (Cuscuta), also known as strangleweed or devil’s hair. This parasitic flowering plant has almost no chloro-phyll. Leafless stems twine around a host plant during growth, as shown in the close-up at right. Modified roots penetrate the host’s vascular tissues and absorb water and nutrients from them.
