Kopsiopsis strobilacea
Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Kopsiopsis strobilacea, the California groundcone, is a species of parasitic plant in the family Orobanchaceae.Template:R It is native to California and southern Oregon, where it grows in wooded areas and chaparral. It is a parasite of Arbutus menziesii and inland manzanitas,[1] which it parasitizes by penetrating them with haustoria to tap nutrients.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The groundcone is visible aboveground as a dark purplish or reddish to brown inflorescence up to Template:Cvt long. Pale-margined purple flowers emerge from between the overlapping bracts.Template:R
Formerly considered Boschniakia strobilacea, some taxonomists now place it in the genus Kopsiopsis on the basis of phylogenetic evidence.Template:R Morphological evidence indicates that this species may have exchanged genetics with Kopsiopsis hookeri in areas where their distribution overlaps.
