Abstract: 
None of the 27 studied Rhinanthoideae is host-specific. Some host plants are preferred (e.g., Rosaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae and Poaceae), others are strictly avoided (e.g., Orchidaceae). Self-parasitism and parasitism on rhizomes are wide-spread. This and the number of haustoria developed are closely related to number of host plants available. Most of the Rhinanthoideae studied have haustoria also at the main root. No serious injury of host plants by Rhinanthoideae under natural conditions was demonstrated.
