What is the botanical name for the love bush plant?
Cuscuta spp, more commonly known as dodder. It is a parasitic plant. It cannot make it's own food, but relies entirely on other plants. Dodders have slender twining or thread like stems that vary in colour from pale green to yellow to bright orange. They climb on nearby plants and then send out small suckers, which eventually grow into the host plant. As soon as the dodder is firmly attached, its own root withers away, and all the nutrients required are drawn from the host. Doesn't sound very romantic does it? In fact dodders can be a serious pest. It reduces the growth of the host plant and sometimes eventually kills it. Its persistence and the fact that it is very difficult to eradicate once it becomes established in an area makes it a farmers nightmare. Some other names given to the dodder are strangleweed, hellweed, angels's hair, devil's gut, devil's hair, beggar weed, pull down, hellbind and shoelaces. I think the names says it all.
