Agalinis paupercula
Also called Small Flowered Agalinis, Small Flowered False Foxglove, Small Flowered Purple False Foxglove, Small Flower False Foxglove, Purple Gerardia
Agalinis paupercula, commonly known as the smallflower false foxglove, is a hemiparasitic annual plant native to the eastern parts of the United States and Canada. Found in open, moist areas, its purple flowers are borne on a 30-to-70-centimeter (12 to 28 in) stem, and bloom in August and September. The species has often been treated as a variety of Agalinis purpurea, the purple false foxglove, and preliminary genetic evidence suggests that the two are, in fact, a single species.
Distributed throughout the northeast region of the United States and in the eastern regions of Canada, A. paupercula is classified as Threatened in the state of New York, and Endangered in the states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is only present on Long Island at Ronkonkoma Lake.
