Aureolaria levigata
Also called Entireleaf Yellow False Foxglove
Appalachian oak leech is a hemiparasitic perennial herb native to the eastern United States that grows on the roots of oak trees and produces yellow tubular flowers in late summer. It is hard to grow in gardens because it needs a living oak host.
Aureolaria levigata, commonly known as entireleaf yellow false foxglove or Appalachian oak-leech, is a species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae. It is native to much of the Appalachian Mountains and surrounding areas in the eastern United States. It is also found in a disjunct population in southwestern Mississippi.
