Pedicularis flammea
Also called Flame Coloured Lousewort, Red Tipped Lousewort, Red Tipped Wood Betony
Redrattle (Pedicularis flammea) is a small hemiparasitic perennial wildflower of cold subalpine and subarctic areas, with red-tipped flowers. It is a wild plant rather than a garden staple, and it is hard to cultivate because it depends on host plant roots for part of its nutrition.
Pedicularis flammea is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Orobanchaceae.
Its native range is Subarctic America to Eastern Canada, Northern Europe.
