Aureolaria pectinata, commonly called combleaf yellow false foxglove,[2] false foxglove,[3] and comb-leaf oakleach,[1] is a species of plant in the broomrape family that is native to the southeastern United States .[4]

It is an annual plant that produces yellow flowers in the late summer on herbaceous stems.[5] It is hemiparisitic, meaning that it gets some of its nutrients from other plants. A. pectinata attaches itself to the roots of oak trees, explaining the common name "oakleach".[6]
