Cymbaria is a genus of flowering plants in the broomrape family Orobanchaceae, native to Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Siberia, the Altai, Mongolia, northern China and Manchuria.[2] They are hemiparasites of other plants, obtaining nutrients through haustoria which attach to the roots of the hosts, and doing some photosynthesis on their own.[3]
