Found on sides of paddy fields near Chennai, Kanchipuram district.

Striga species?

Striga sp. A root parasite 

Thank you very much. I feel it matches with:
/species/m—z/o/orobanchaceae/striga/striga-angustifolia  

I think more closer to images at /species/m—z/o/orobanchaceae/striga/striga-densiflora
Pl. check.  

Looks like S. angustifolia also for me.  Not sure.

No. It should be striga densiflora.
