Aureolaria laevigata, commonly known as entireleaf yellow false foxglove[1] or Appalachian oak-leech, is a species of plant in the broomrape family. It is native to much of the Appalachian Mountains and surrounding areas. It is also found in a disjunct population in southwestern Mississippi.

Like other members of its genus, Aureolaria laevigata is hemiparasitic on oak tree roots. It produces tubular yellow flowers in late summer. It can be distinguished from its relative, A. flava by its tendency to have entire, simple leaves.[2]
