The genus name Castilleja is from the 18th-century Spanish botanist, Domingo Castillejo. ![]() Ĭastilleja coccinea can be distinguished from other Castilleja of the southeastern US because it has a 2-to-3.5-millimeter long, thin yellowish or orangish lip on the corolla, the inflorescence bracts are deeply lobed, and the basal rosettes of leaves are usually well-developed. The common names for this plant reflect the showy red bracts, inside of which is the actual greenish-yellow corolla ("flower"). The alternate stem leaves are deeply and irregularly lobed and measure up to 8 cm (3 in) long. The basal leaves are oblong and mostly entire, and usually die before the flowres appear. In its first year, the plant appears as a basal rosette, and in the second year the stem, usually unbranched, rises from the rosette. It is an upright, hairy, 1-to-7-decimeter (3.9 to 27.6 in) tall hemiparasitic plant. It is usually found in prairies, rocky glades, moist and open woodlands, thickets, and along streams in central and eastern North America. Castilleja coccinea, commonly known as scarlet Indian paintbrush or scarlet painted-cup, is a biennial flowering plant in the Orobanchaceae (broomrape) family.
