High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yellow Rattle or Cockscomb (Rhinanthus minor) is a flowering plant in the genus Rhinanthus in the family Orobanchaceae, native to Europe and western Asia. It is a hemi-parasitic herbaceous annual plant that gains some of its nutrients from the roots of neighbouring plants. It grows to 25-50 cm tall, with opposite, simple leaves, with a serrated margin. The flowers are yellow, produced on a terminal raceme. The fruit is a dry capsule, which contain loose, rattling seeds when ripe; the plant's name refers to these. Its preferred habitat is dry fields or meadows, where its flowering period is between June and September. In Ireland and Scotland, this species is often associated with Machair habitat.
