June 1, 2012 Southeastern, New Hampshire I thought that this plant was Texas Toadflax (Nuttallanthus texanus) even though it is not supposed to grow here. The flowers and stem are so much bigger than the Canada Toadflax that is so common around here.

Fortunately, Research Botanist, Arthur Haines was kind enough to take some of these plants and examine them (the size and the seeds). I tried to examine the seeds myself, but I did not have great enough magnification to tell if the seeds were tuberculate (bearing swellings or projections). It turns out that this plant is simply Canada Toadflax with larger than typical flowers.
