A genus of parasitic flowering plants native to the eastern United States, characterized by small, greenish flowers.
Named after Samuel Buckley, a 19th-century botanist, with '-a' (Latinized suffix for plant genera). The plant genus was designated in honor of botanical contributions.
Buckleya is a fascinating parasitic plant that feeds on the roots of other plants—it's one of the few parasitic flowering plants in North America, making it a botanical oddity that most people have never heard of!
