Description
Erect hemiparasitic native perennial with opposite, wholly cauline, sessile leaves.
Flowers in terminal, leafy-bracteate spikes. Generally glabrous or thinly puberulent on 2 of 4 sides of squarish stem.
Leaves opposite, sessile, and cauline, scabrous and stiff, linear-lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, toothed, 2-6cm x 4-15mm.
Calyx laterally flattened but somewhat inflated, corolla yellow, bilabiate, galeate, the upper lip hooded and enclosing the anthers.
Fruit is a flattened, orbicular, loculicidal capsule.
Differentiated from Rhinanthis minor ssp. minor by the bluish-gray teeth on the corolla upper lip, R. minor ssp. minor has whitish teeth and is less common.[2]
Bloom Period

Distribution
Boreal north America, Greenland, Eurasia, south to Washington and NW Oregon.[2]
