Cassytha filiformis
text:
Cassytha filiformis or love-vine is an orangish, wiry, parasitic vine in the family Lauraceae. It is found in coastal forests of warm tropical regions worldwide including the Americas, Indomalaya, Australasia, Polynesia and tropical Africa. It is an obligate parasite, meaning it cannot complete its life-cycle without another host plant. Research in Florida has found that love-vine inhibits gall wasps by attacking the galls that the wasps create for their young.
