Lathraea squamaria, also known as the common toothwort, is a flowering plant found in Europe and Turkey. It is a parasitic plant that feeds on the roots of hazel and alder trees, and is one of the few members of the Orobanchaceae family that has lost the ability to photosynthesize. This plant grows in shady areas such as deciduous woodlands and hedge sides, and has a unique appearance with a whitish underground stem covered in fleshy, colorless leaves. In late spring, it produces short flower-bearing shoots with dull purple flowers, and is also capable of self-fertilization through underground flowers. The common toothwort is able to regenerate from broken fragments of its underground stem. It is widely distributed in Europe and can be found in various habitats such as woodlands, hedgerows, and riverbanks.
