Castilleja elmeri is a species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae with the common name Elmer's paintbrush. As with most Castilleja species, this is a facultative root hemiparasite and will usually be seen growing close to a host plant.[2][3]
Leaves are lanceolate and the flowers form a relatively (for a Castilleja) compact head that is usually red or pale yellow, sometimes nearly white.[3]
Castilleja elmeri grows in mountains from southern British Columbia to the Wenatchee Mountains in Washington State.[3] In the Wenatchee Mountains it is notable for being common on serpentine soils.[2]
