See text Bdallophyton Bdallophytum is a genus of parasitic flowering plants with five described species.

[1] It was previously placed in Rafflesiaceae, but is now placed in family Cytinaceae, together with the only other genus Cytinus.

Some Bdallophytum species were at one time considered to belong to this latter genus.

[3] The genus name is probably derived from Ancient Greek bdell- "leech" and phyton "plant".

It was later misspelled as Bdallophyton by Eichler, and this synonym is now also in common use.
