description
Orobanche pancicii is a parasitic living plant whose stems (rarely only 15) are 35 to 50 cm high and 0.5 to 0.7 cm wide. They are slightly swollen at the base and have glandular hairs and are yellowish or, more rarely, purple in color. The leaves are dense in the lower part of the plant, and more sparse higher up. They are up to 30 mm long and lanceolate.
The inflorescences are 6 to 15 cm high and 3 to 4 cm wide, mostly densely built and covered with glandular hairs. The bracts are about as long as the crown and lanceolate. The calyx is 9 to 14 mm long, the sepals stand free or are slightly fused and usually two-toothed. The crown is 15 to 28 mm long, covered with glandular hairs, protruding-upright, broad, cylindrical-bell-shaped and slightly curved. The color of the crown is pale yellow or whitish, on the outside it is tinged with purple. The upper lip is bulged or slightly bilobed, the middle lobe of the lower lip is larger than the two outer ones, the lower lip is more or less ciliate. The stamens are usually hairy and set about 2 to 3 mm above the crown base. The anthers are almost hairless. The scar is yellow.
The fruit is a capsule with a length of 9 to 14 mm.
