Rhinanthus osiliensis, in English known by the common name Saaremaa yellow rattle, is a flowering plant in the genus Rhinanthus in the family Orobanchaceae. It was previously believed to be endemic to the Estonian island Saaremaa in the Baltic Sea, but as late as 2007 it was confirmed as also existing on the Swedish island Gotland.[1][2] It is rare also on Saaremaa. It grows in wet meadows and spring fens.[3]
