The genus Pholisma consists of three species of desert-dwelling, primarily subterranean plants. Pholisma belongs to the family Lennoaceae.[1] (It may also be placed in a broadly circumscribed family Boraginaceae s.l.[2])
Most notable of the genus is Pholisma sonorae, native to the southwestern United States and Mexico. The species is without chlorophyll and lives as a parasite on the roots of a number of desert species. Other species include Pholisma arenarium, the "desert Christmas tree", and Pholisma culiacana.
