Dalmation toadflax (Linarian genistifolia ssp. dalmatica (L.) Marie & Petitmengin) is a member of the Figwort family. It was introduced as an ornamental from Europe, and is now rapidly invading dry rangeland from 5,000 to 8,000 feet. It is a creeping perennial that closely resembles yellow toadflax. The leaves are waxy, heart-shaped and clasp the stem. The stems are from 2 to 4 feet tall. The flowers are snapdragon-shaped, bright yellow, with orange centers.
Dalmation toadflax is especially well adapted to arid sites and can spread rapidly once established. Because of its deep, extensive root system, waxy leaf and heavy seed production, this plant is difficult to manage.
