Castilleja spp.
The small green flowers are subtended (a bract that extends under a flower so as to support it) by red tipped bracts.
Open fields and meadows.
The roots of this plant grow until they reach another plant, usually grasses, then they penetrate these host roots to obtain a portion of their nutrients.
