Parentucellia latifolia   Broadleaf Glandweed

Parentucellia latifolia whole Parentucellia latifolia close

This is a tiny plant and like its close relation Parentucellia viscosa (Yellow Bartsia) is covered in glandular hairs making it quite sticky. It is also known as Red Bartsia in the US which would be confusing for us in the British Isles because use that name for Odontites vernus. P. latifolia grows throughout the Mediterranean in grassy or stony places.
