Cuscuta gronovii is a yellow vine that grows as a parasite off other plants.
Cuscuta gronovii belongs to the family Convolvuaceae, including the morning glories, comprising about 200 species.
The vine produces white flowers with bell-shaped, five-lobed corollas, and sepals united at the base.
[4] Cuscuta gronovii was named in honor of botanist Jay Fredrik Gronon.
It can also be found in all provinces of Canada with the exceptions of British Columbia, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
[2] The life cycle begins with germination, but seeds are unable to survive long periods of time without first associating themselves with host plants.
