Parasites on the spot: the rediscovery of a presumably extinct Apodanthaceae in São Paulo state, Brazil

2017

Gissi,Danilo | Groppo,Milton

Apodanthaceae are achlorophyllous herbs holoparasitic on the stems and roots of species of Fabaceae or Salicaceae (Casearia and Xylosma). The family consists of two genera, Apodanthes Poit. and Pilostyles Guill. Although one species of each genus occurs in several states of Brazil, we report a new record of Pilostyles blanchetti (Gardner) R.Br. in the state of São Paulo, the first in 50 years. Comments on the distribution of species, hypothetic pollinators, and color images are presented.
