Odontites verna

["Stephan at Mizzou1.Missouri.edu L. at Mizzou1.Missouri.edu Hatch" at Mizzou1.Missouri.edu]

I am holding down the fort here for a little while, but have an
urgent request that I hope someone here may answer.  I am looking for
a common name for a parasitic weed called _Odontites verna_.  I have
no idea of family, tribe, etc., nor do I have any information on
distribution, although it *may* be here in Texas.

If anyone can forward that information to me (PLEASE don't go to a
lot of trouble!), I would appreciate it.  Also, no need to clutter
the channel; please reply direct.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
