Yellow Parentucellia

 Yellow parentucellia at Arcata marsh

Yellow parentucellia (or yellow bartsia) is not a very common plant. It is most most often encountered in meadows. Though the flowers make it look like a member of figworts (Scrophulariaceae), this plant belongs to broomrape family (Orobanchaceae).
