Cassytha L. (1753) is a genus of some two dozen species of obligately parasitic vines in the family Lauraceae. Superficially and in some aspects of their ecology they closely resemble plants in the unrelated genus Cuscuta, the dodders. The physical resemblance is so close that, when fruit and flowers are absent in the field, few people without technical training can tell them apart; even an unwary botanist might be misled. It is a spectacular example of convergent evolution.[1] In its divergence from habits typical of the Lauraceae, it also presents examples of mosaic evolution[2] Though the Lauraceae constitute a large family, with thousands of species in tens of genera, Cassytha is its only known parasitic genus.[9] Cassytha also is atypical of the family in that most Lauraceae are woody shrubs or trees. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Cassytha filiformis L. kas-SITH-ee-a -- from the Greek word kassyo (sew, patch) fil-ih-FOR-miss -- threadlike ...
