Orobanche crenata is a species of broomrape, commonly known as bean broomrape.[2] It is a common parasite of the faba bean, Vicia faba.[3] It is native to the Mediterranean basin in Europe and North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and Western Asia through to Iran. It has been introduced elsewhere, including Ethiopia.[1] It has no chlorophyll, and gets its carbohydrates from the host's phloem, and water and minerals from the host's xylem. It is a constant threat to legume production.[4] In the Apulia region of southern Italy, the stems of Orobanche crenata are gathered and eaten.
