YELLOW TOADFLAX
Linaria vulgaris
Yellow toadflax is a creeping perennial 12 to 24" tall. Leaves are pale green, narrow, 2.5" long and pointed at both ends.
Flowers are 1" long with a bearded orange throat. Similar to "snapdragons or butter and eggs", common garden flowers.
This plant was introduced into the US as an ornamental in the mid-1800's. An extensive root system makes it an aggressive invader of ROW, rangelands, waste places and cultivated fields. It is difficult to control once established
