Phelipanche

Phelipanche Pomel

Phelipanche is a segregate of Orobanche and corresponds with the latter’s section Trionychon Wallr. Molecular studies have shown that species from this section represent a distinct lineage (Park & al. 2007a, 2007b, Carlón & al. 2008, Gevezova & al. 2012) and these findings corroborate with morphological data as well. Important synapomorphies seem to be the presence of bracteoles and tricolpate pollen (Piwowarczyk & al. 2015). Generic status for this group of species appears to be justified and these new insights have been followed in contemporary floras, e.g. Zázvorka (2000) and Tison & de Foucault (2014). Phelipanche counts ca. 20 species in the Old World, ranging from the Mediterranean area to Asia. In Belgium a single species is native, while an additional one has been recorded as an alien (Lambinon & Verloove 2012).

1 Corolla small, 7-15 mm long, bluish with white throat. Stem nearly always branched. Parasite on Cannabis sativa, Brassica or Solanaceae species === Phelipanche ramosa
Corolla larger, 18-25(-30) mm long, bluish. Stem single. Parasite on Achillea millefolium, rarely on other composites (native) == P. purpurea
