I am a parasitic plant, often found attached to the roots of other trees. I lack chlorophyll, so I cannot produce my own food. My flowers are small and often overlooked, and I produce a small, fleshy fruit.

1. I belong to the family Orobanchaceae.
2. I am often found in temperate regions.
3. I have scale-like leaves, rather than true leaves.
4. I am sometimes used in traditional medicine.
