Orobanche crenata is a common parasite of leguminous crops, especially beans and peas.
It often appears in large colonies from March to July in countries around the Mediterranean basin.
It has no chlorophyl, which means it gets the ingredients it needs to grow from host plants.
Its whitish flowers are fragrant and between 20-30mm.
