Rhinanthus, in the broomrape family, Orobanchaceae.[1] It is
an annual wildflower native to temperate grasslands in much of

arable land in east Britain. However, most of the remaining
sites are on the North Downs, in grassland and open scrub on Binomial name

Pteridium and on railway ballast. In Angus, a tiny colony C.C.Gmel.
survives in sandy coastal grassland.[4]
