Indian paintbrush can produce food via process of photosynthesis (like other green plants), but it thrives much better and survives even on the poor and dry soil when it "steals" water and nutrients from the roots of other plants. It uses specially designed tubes called haustoria (modified roots) for the absorption of water and nutrients from the roots of nearby, host plants. Indian paintbrush propagates via seed and division of the underground stem. Large, colorful bracts attract hummingbirds, main pollinators of these plants.įruit of Indian paintbrush is capsule filled with numerous seed. Indian paintbrush blooms from May to September. They surround small, tube-shaped, whitish green or yellow, "true" flowers, densely packed in the form of spike. Indian paintbrush produces large, three-lobed bright colored bracts (modified leaves) that can be red, yellow, orange, purple or pink colored. Upper leaves are divided in three lobes and covered with hairs. Indian paintbrush produces long, narrow, lanceolate, green leaves with smooth edges and pointed tips. Indian paintbrush develops erect, unbranched, hairy stem that can reach 12 to 20 inches (rarely 2 feet) in height. Cultivation of Indian paintbrush is difficult because these plants require hosts for the successful growth and development (they belong to the group of parasitic plants). Indian paintbrush grows in deserts, dry, sandy prairies, scrublands and woodlands. There are around 200 species of Indian paintbrush that originate from western parts of the North and South America and North Asia. Indian paintbrush, also known as prairie fire, is a genus of herbaceous plants that belong to the broomrape family. "Species Status Codes, Species of Concern". Rather, these designations provide information that helps resource managers make proactive decisions regarding species conservation and data collection priorities. Designation as a Montana Species of Concern or Species of Concern is based on the Montana Status Rank, and is not a statutory or regulatory classification. ^ Species of Concern are native taxa that are at-risk due to declining population trends, threats to their habitats, restricted distribution, and/or other factors.These exotic populations may also be referred to as alien, introduced, invasive, non-native, or non-indigenous. ^ Exotic species have been deliberately or accidentally introduced to areas outside of their native geographic range and are able to reproduce and maintain sustainable populations in these areas.Verbascum blattaria, white moth mullein.Mimulus tilingii, subalpine monkeyflower.Mimulus suksdorfii, Suksdorf monkeyflower.Mimulus ringens, square-stem monkeyflower.Mimulus primuloides, primrose monkeyflower.Mimulus nanus, dwarf purple monkeyflower.Mimulus hymenophyllus, thinsepal monkeyflower.Mimulus guttatus, common large monkeyflower.Mimulus glabratus, roundleaf monkeyflower.Mimulus floribundus, floriferous monkeyflower.Mimulus clivicola, North Idaho monkeyflower.Mimulus breviflorus, short-flowered monkeyflower.Mimulus ampliatus, stalk-leaved monkeyflower.Pedicularis pulchella, mountain lousewortįigwort Dwarf purple monkeyflower, Mimulus nanus.Pedicularis groenlandica, elephant's-head lousewort.Pedicularis cystopteridifolia, fern-leaved lousewort.Pedicularis crenulata, scallop-leaf lousewort.
