Family: Orobanchaceae

Group: Vascular Plant, Species

Scientific Name	Common Name	Summary
Boschniakia hookeri	Vancouver groundcone	Closest records mapped in e-Flora BC are from southern Haida Gwaii.
Boschniakia rossica	Northern Ground-cone	Fairly Common parasitic plant associated with Sitka alder. Southeast Alaska may represent the southern extent of the range of this species west of the coast range. Collections in ARCTOS throughout much of the region, except the far southern parts. (No collections from further south along the coast in BC are indicated in e-flora BC.)
Castilleja hyperborea	Northern paintbrush	No collection in ARCTOS from the region. There are several collections from the Haines triangle area of British Columbia, the overall distribution of this species makes it seem unlikely to occur on the coastal side of the coast mountains.
Castilleja miniata	Giant Red Paintbrush	Many collections from the region in ARCTOS. (Seems to be absent from Sitka Sound and the west side of Baranof Island.)
Castilleja pallida	Green Paintbrush	Included in Hall's 2010 treatment, there are apparently no collections in ARCTOS from the region - Hulten has C. caudata from southwestern Yukon Territory north.
Castilleja parviflora	Mountain Paintbrush	Common perennial herb with showy magenta bracts found in subalpine and alpine meadows at or above treeline. Collections in ARCTOS mostly from the northern mainland but also some scattered throughout the rest of the region.
Castilleja tenuis	Hairy Indian Paintbrush	Reported from Skagway in the first half of the 1900s. No more recent reports of this introduced species - it is presumed to not be established. It is native to British Columbia, but limited to the far southern portion.
Castilleja unalaschcensis	Alaska Paintbrush	Perennial herb with simple, linear leaves and showy yellow bracts that is common in well drained meadows from sea level to the treeline. Many collections in ARCTOS, especially from the outer coast and the northern mainland. Pacific Northwest (southern BC to closest Aleutian Islands) endemic.
Euphrasia mollis	Subalpine Eyebright	Small plant which is easy to overlook. It may be more common than currently thought. Several collections in ARCTOS from the northern mainland and outer islands.
Euphrasia nemorosa	Common Eyebright	Collections in ARCTOS and reports in AKEPIC database, primarily from upper Lynn Canal and the southern half of the region. Also from Juneau and Yakutat.
Euphrasia subarctica	Arctic Eyebright	A handful of collections in ARCTOS, mostly from the northern mainland (with several in the database as E. disjuncta). A single record from Chichagof Island.
Pedicularis capitata	Capitate Lousewort	Three collections in ARCTOS between upper end of Lynn Canal and the Canadian border.
Pedicularis labradorica	Labrador Lousewort	No georeferenced collections in ARCTOS from the region. Eflora BC has collections indicated from just across the border along the Haines Highway.
Pedicularis lanata	Wooly Lousewort	There are few collections/reports of this species from the region; most (all?) from the southern islands (Dall Island, Revillagigedo Island, and Prince of Wales Island). Given the relatively isolate occurrence of this species on the southern Southeast Alaska islands and Haida Gwaii (as opposed to much more continental distribution in the rest of BC - with the nearest other coastal collection well to the north at the Malaspina forelands), it may be worth investigating whether this coastal population shows genetic evidence of isolation during the last ice age.
Pedicularis langsdorfii	Langsdorf's Lousewort	No collections georeferenced in ARCTOS from the region. There are several collections from the Haines Triangle of BC mapped on the e-Flora BC atlas.
Pedicularis macrodonta	Muskeg Lousewort	Only one collection in ARCTOS of this species. It has been considered a subspecies of Small-flowered Lousewort (Pedicularis parviflora) and it may be that some collections labeled under that name are of this species.
Pedicularis oederi	Oeder's Lousewort	Scattered (georeferenced) records from across the region in ARCTOS. Additiona collections from the region may be in the non-georeferenced records.
Pedicularis ornithorhyncha	Duck's Bill Lousewort	Collections in ARCTOS are all from the southern inside islands and mainland or Baranof Island. Apparently reaches the northern extent of its range in Southeast Alaska. Pacific Northwest Coast endemic.
Pedicularis parviflora	Small-flowered Lousewort	Collections in ARCTOS primarily from the northern half of the region. It appears this species may reach its southernmost extent on the west coast of North America in Southeast Alaska.
Pedicularis sudetica	Sudet Lousewort	Collections in ARCTOS from Juneau area and near Skagway, plus several in the vicinity of Yakutat.
Pedicularis verticillata	Whorled Lousewort	Collections in ARCTOS are mostly from the west side of the outermost islands. There are also collections from near Juneau and Skagway. This species appears to reach its southern extent along the west coast on Haida Gwaii. Possible refugial candidate (with primary population present in the north and recolonizing southward from there)?
Rhinanthus minor	Rattlebox	Most georeferenced collections in ARCTOS from the northern half of the region. One collection from Prince of Wales is the only from the south of the Sitka area.
