This pure-white Orobanche was taken in Spring and I am not sure that it is one of the common ones, namely O. crenata or O.pubescens or O.muteli

I had in mind O. loricata...

While the images of O. loricata are not very different either!

I gave a look at some floras and keys (Flora Europae, Flora Iberica, Flora analitica d'italia), and this is not O. pubescens or O.crenata. I am quite sure on O. picridis, though confirmation only if I have the specimen in hand. The host seams to be Daucus.
