Castilleja scabrida
Also called Zion Indian Paintbrush, Rough Paintbrush
Castilleja scabrida, commonly known as rough paintbrush or Eastwood paintbrush, is a species of plant in Castilleja, the paintbrush genus from the Intermountain West mainly in the states of Nevada, Utah, and Colorado.
It is native to five western US states, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, and Utah. It is only rarely found in Apache County, Arizona and San Juan County, New Mexico. It is much more commonly encountered in Utah and southwestern Colorado. It grows at elevations from 1,200 to 2,800 meters (3,900 to 9,200 ft).
Rough paintbrush has high potential as a garden species. In experiments it was relatively tolerant of garden operations like transplantation and its seeds have a moderate germination rate in greenhouse flats.
