On two separate transects in the Rock Valley area of the northern Mojave Desert in the spring of 1976, 4 to 17% of the perennial plants were infested with the parasite Cuscuta nevadensis Jtn. (dodder), and dead pieces of dodder from previous years were on dead plants equivalent to another 5%, indicating that the dodder had a regulating effect on the plant population and may be an important cause of perennial plant death.
