Buchnera arizonica

Buchnera arizonica, also known as the Arizona elfin butterfly plant, is a species of flowering plant that belongs to the family Orobanchaceae.

It is a hemiparasitic plant, meaning it derives some of its nutrients by connecting to the roots of other plants, typically members of the Scrophulariaceae family.

The medicinal properties of Buchnera arizonica include its potential to treat fever, rheumatism, and other inflammatory conditions due to its high concentration of bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and phenolic acids.
