September 15th, 2012. We saw this small Agalinis
species growing in a north-facing dry ditch by the roadside in Rabun County.
The flowers were distinctly smaller than those of Agalinis purpurea.
Agalinis
tenuifolia (Slenderleaf False Foxglove, Slender Gerardia, Thin-leaved
Agalinis)
is native to the United States where it’s found in all states east of the Rocky
Mountains. In Georgia, it’s been documented in many counties but more
frequently in counties in the Piedmont and far north Georgia.
