Abstract
PARASITISM in some species of Striga has often been questioned. According to Williams1 S. euphrasioides is one of the unlikely exceptions to the group of obligate parasitic species. It was, therefore, felt desirable to investigate its seed germination and compare it with similar investigations on certain species of Striga and Orobanche that are recognized as root parasites.
