“Butter-and-Eggs (Linaria vulgaris) - Throughout North America the Butter-and-Eggs plant has made itself a familiar habitant of the roadsides and waste places. It closely resembles the cultivated snapdragon except that the inch long corolla is spurred at the base. Slender stems, 1 to 2 feet tall, and bearing numerous, narrowly linear leaves, arise from perennial roots. A native of Europe, this plant has often excaped cultivation and formed large patches from the creeping roots. The cylindrical capsules produce winged seeds.” {From: "Plants of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks" by Richard J. Shaw pg 88.} |
