Orobanche uniflora, commonly known as Oneflowered Broomrape,[1] Cancer Root,[2] or Naked Broomrape,[3] is an annual parasitic herb. It is native to much of North America, where it is a parasitic plant, tapping nutrients from many other species of plants, including those in the Asteraceae and Saxifragaceae families and in the genus Sedum.
It grows to a height of five centimeters, and has short (up to 1 centimeter) scaly leaves, and yellowish-white or purple flowers, that can be up to 3.5 centimeters long. The flowers grow singly on tall stalks.
