Castilleja levisecta is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae known by the common name golden paintbrush, or golden Indian paintbrush, listed under the Endangered Species Act in 1997. It is native to British Columbia and Washington, where it is known from eleven remaining populations.[2] It occurred in Oregon but all natural occurrences there have been extirpated.[2][3] It has been reintroduced to a few areas in Oregon, but it remains to be seen if the plants will survive.[2][1] The plant is a federally listed endangered species of Canada and was listed as threatened in the United States in 1997.[4][5] On June 30, 2021, the plant was proposed for delisting due to recovery. [6] Effective August 18, 2023, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a rule removing golden paintbrush from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants[7]
