Multiple genotypes of Phelipanche ramosa indicate repeated introduction to the Americas.

Abstract excerpt

PREMISE: Phelipanche ramosa is an economically damaging parasitic plant that has been reported in North America since the late 1800s. While this species comprises a variety of genetically distinct host races in its native range, the genetic composition of adventive populations in the New World remains unexplored. On the basis of morphological and ecological variation, some have suggested that the closely related...
