| Tozzia alpina | |
Tozzia is a monotypic genus of flowering plants within the broomrape family Orobanchaceae. It contains a unique species, Tozzia alpina.
While the plant in its young, vegetative stage is holoparasite, it becomes hemiparasite in its flowering stage. The originality of this species is therefore to combine half and full parasitism.[1][2][3]
The range of Tozzia alpina extends from the Pyrenees and the Alps to the Balkans and the Carpathians.[4]
