Melampyrum pratense
This plant has pale yellow flowers which appear along the length of the stem always in pairs and accompanied by two leaves. Common cow-wheat is semi-parasitic as it attaches to the roots of other plants in order to feed.
Can be found growing in woodland, heaths and upland moors. This one was found in the shores of Loch Lomond
