One of twelve Agalinis species found in Florida, the purple false foxglove has widely spreading branches, lacks axillary fascicles and displays corollas longer than 2cm.

A Facultative Wet species with geographic distribution over the eastern half of North America, Agalinis purpurea can be found in hydric pine flatwoods, bogs and seepage areas.



These were photographed last week near Aucilla Wildlife Management Area in northwest Florida.
