What is S. asiatica: Invasive Weed Profile about?

S. asiatica is a parasitic weed that was not noticed in the USA until it had already infested 200,000 hectares. It has a variable shoot system and morphology. Flowers are small and arranged in terminal and axillary inflorescences. Seed color varies regionally from red to white. While the shoot system shows no signs of parasitism, the root system is specialized for parasitism, forming haustoria to attach to host plant roots and absorb water and nutrients.
