Melampyrum arvense |
Melampyrum arvense, commonly known as field cow-wheat, is an herbaceous flowering plant of the genus Melampyrum in the family Orobanchaceae.[1] It is striking because of the conspicuous spike of pink or purple terminal bracts which includes the flowers.
The Latin specific epithet arvense means "growing in cultivated fields".[2]
