Rhinanthus
''Rhinanthus'' is a genus of annual parasitic plant, hemiparasitic herbaceous plants in the family Orobanchaceae, formerly classified in the family Scrophulariaceae. Its species are commonly known as rattles. The genus consists of about 30 to 40 species found in Europe, northern Asia, and North America, with the greatest species diversity (28 species) in Europe. Phylogeny The phylogeny of the genera of Rhinantheae has been explored using molecular characters. ''Rhinanthus'' is the sister genus to ''Lathraea'', and then to ''Rhynchocorys''. These three genera share phylogenetic affinities with members of the core Rhinantheae: ''Bartsia'', ''Euphrasia'', ''Tozzia'', ''Hedbergia'', ''Bellardia trixago, Bellardia'', and ''Odontites''. ''Melampyrum'' appears as a more distant relative.

Rhinanthus Minor
''Rhinanthus minor'', known as yellow rattle, is a herbaceous wildflower in the genus ''Rhinanthus'' in the family (biology), family Orobanchaceae (the broomrapes). It has circumpolar distribution in Europe, Russia, western Asia, and northern North America. An annual plant, yellow rattle grows up to tall, with upright stems and opposite, simple leaves. The fruit is a dry capsule (fruit), capsule, with loose, rattling seeds. The preferred habitat of ''Rhinanthus minor'' is dry fields or meadows; it tolerates a wide range of soil types. It flowers in the summer between May and September. It is parasitic plant, hemiparasitic, notably on Poaceae (grasses) and Fabaceae (legumes), and farmers consider it to be a pest, as it reduces grass growth. Yellow rattle is used to create or restore wildflower meadows, where it maintains species diversity by suppressing dominant grasses and the recycling of soil nutrients. The seed is sown thinly onto grassland from August to November—to germ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
