What is another word for lennoaceae?
Pronunciation: [lˈɛnə͡ʊsˌiː] (IPA) 
Lennoaceae is a botanical family of flowering plants that contains only two genera of parasitic herbs. The scientific name for this family uses the Greek word lenos, which means 'woodworm', to describe the way in which the plants bore into the tissues of their hosts, much like a woodworm does in wood. As such, synonyms for Lennoaceae may include parasitic herbs, wood-boring plants or leafless monocots. The family is also sometimes referred to as the naked broomrape family, due to the fact that the plants lack chlorophyll and therefore do not produce leaves, relying instead on their parasitic relationship with the host plant for their nutrition.
