description_en: Genus of 7 species of leafless, mainly subterranean, parasitic perennials from damp woodland in temperate Europe and Asia. Branching rhizomes bear usually rounded, scale-like, fleshy, ivory to mauve leaves. They are cultivated for their unusual, tubular, 2-lipped, white to mauve flowers, borne in raceme-like inflorescences at ground level in spring. Grow at the base of a host tree or shrub. L. clandestina is parasitic on willow (Salix), poplar (Populus), and alder (Alnus). Other species parasitize other trees and are usually host-specific.
