Abstract

Cistanche tubulosa (Schenk) R. Wight (Orobanchaceae) was observed growing as root parasite on host
plant Calotropis procera L. in sandy habitats of western Rajasthan, especially in Churu region. During
reproductive phase of the parasite, only tuberous, massive inflorescence axis emerges out from ground
level, whereas vegetative part remains underground nearby host root system. Several nutritive compound
and water withdrawn from host roots are being accumulated in inflorescence part which is medicinally
important. Ethno-medicinally the species is used in different health problems like jaundice, diabetes, male
and female genital problems, whooping cough etc
