Abstract
Several species of witchweeds (Striga) in the Sudan severely parasitise sorghum, maize and other crops, reducing their yield. This paper describes these economically important species, and also the others that are not known to parasitise crops, and provides a key for the identification to all ten species. References to taxonomic literature and type specimens, synonymy and taxonomic notes, vernacular names, hosts, phenology, insect pollinators and field notes are included, as well as line drawings of all the species of Striga occurring in the Sudan.
