👉 Parasnia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lythraceae, native to South America. This genus contains around 100 species that are commonly known as "parasnakes" or "parasitic plants." These plants have an underground root system and produce flowers and fruits that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The flowers of some parasnakes are brightly colored, with complex structures such as scales on the petals and a single tube that releases pollen.
