Discussion

In the flora area, var. gronovii is the third most wide­spread dodder after Cuscuta campestris and C. indecora. Rarely, some plants may have capsules apically narrowed into a neck to 1 mm, reminiscent of C. rostrata.

Variety gronovii is a weed in cranberry crops in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.
