Yellow rattle, (Rhinanthus minor), from the family of Figworts (Scrophulariaceae), is so called in English because the yellow seeds of the flower rattle in their pods. Its preferred habitat is dry fields or meadows, where it can grow up to 24 inches tall in its flowering period between June and September.
