Sapria himalayana is a rare holoparasitic flowering plant related to Rafflesia found in the Eastern Himalayas.[3][4] Sapria himalayana represents the extreme manifestation of the parasitic mode, being completely dependent on its host plant for water, nutrients and products of photosynthesis which it sucks through a specialised root system called haustoria.[4] These haustoria are attached to both the xylem and the phloem of the host plant.
