单词 broomrape
释义

broomrapen.

Brit. /ˈbruːmreɪp/, U.S. /ˈbrumˌreɪp/
Etymology: A rendering of medieval Latin Rapum genistae broom knob or tuber; < rapum ‘a knob or lump formed by the roots of trees’, and genista broom. The name is therefore not of popular origin.
A large genus of parasitic herbs ( Orobanche), which attach themselves to the roots of broom, furze, clover, and other leguminous plants, having a brownish-yellow leafless fleshy stem furnished with pointed scales or bracts. The name was first applied to O. major, the Rapum genistæ of Lobel and other early herbalists.
