Orobanche uniflora var. minuta
Naked Broomrape

Family: Orobanchaceae (Broomrape family)

Photo taken near Mt. McCay in partially shaded Aspen stand.

There is some debate whether there are taxonomically valid varieties of Orobanche uniflora. A smaller flower that is usually purplish characterizes the majority of individuals, while white flowered types with large corollas such as in this photo are less commonly seen.
