Parentucellia viscosa
Also called Yellow bartsia, Sticky Parentucellia, Yellow Parentucellia, Tarweed
Yellow glandweed is a sticky, hairy annual wildflower with yellow tubular flowers, native to Europe and the Mediterranean and found elsewhere as an introduced weed. It is a root hemiparasite that draws water and nutrients from grasses and legumes, so it is not practical to grow as an ornamental.
Parentucellia viscosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae known by the common names yellow bartsia and yellow glandweed. It is native to Europe, but it can be found on other continents, including Australia and North America, as an introduced species.
