Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Aphyllon (Greek, leafless). Orobanchaceae. Two species of small N: American parasitic herbs, now often united with Orobanche, and by others kept distinct under Rafinesque's name, Thalesia. These plants are not cult., but are always interesting to the collector and surprising to one who runs across them in woods or fields. A. uniflörum, Gray, Fig. 231, produces very few leafless 1-fld. pale scapes, 3-8 in. high, and 5- lobed, curved, white or violet fls., and known as cancer- root. A. fasciculatum, Torr. & Gray, has the scaly st. rising higher out of the ground and bearing several crowded peduncles: fls. purplish yellow. —These plants occur sparingly nearly or quite across the continent.
