Discussion

Plants of subsp. pectinata have been reported to parasitize Aristida stricta (Poaceae) and Quercus laevis (Fagaceae) (L. J. Musselman and W. F. Mann 1977). Greenhouse experiments demonstrate that plants of Seymeria pectinata are capable of parasitizing economically important southeastern trees (notably excluding Pinus) that are not known natural hosts, indicating pathogen potential and/or an incomplete host record for wild-collected plants (Musselman and Mann 1978).
