Cross sections of haustorial connections between two root-hemiparasitic species and their hosts. In the hemiparasite haustoria (ha), there is a hyaline body (hb), the vascular core of the haustorium (vc) and a xylem bridge (xb) leading to host xylem vessels (xv) in the host root (hr); xx – xylem–xylem contact.
