Aureolaria pectinata

Aureolaria pectinata, commonly called combleaf yellow false foxglove, [2] false foxglove, [3] and comb-leaf oakleach, [1] is a species of plant in the broomrape family that is native to the southeastern United States. [4]

It is an annual plant that produces yellow flowers in the late summer on herbaceous stems. [5] It is hemiparisitic, meaning that it gets some of its nutrients from other plants. A. pectinata attaches itself to the roots of oak trees, explaining the common name "oakleach". [6]

<i>Agalinis</i> Genus of flowering plants belonging to the broomrape family

Agalinis is a genus of about 70 species in North, Central, and South America that until recently was aligned with members of the family Scrophulariaceae.

Agalinis species are hemiparasitic, which is a character that in part describes the Orobanchaceae.
