Abstract
LITTLE research has been conducted into the nutrition of hemiparasitic plants since the early part of this century. These plants, predominantly confined to the sub-family Rhinanthoideae of the Scrophulariaceae, become parasitic by establishing root connexions with the host plant through haustoria.
