Taxonomic notes
Synonym: Gerardia filifolia Nutt.[1]
Description
It is an annual.[2]
Distribution
This species is frequent in all of Florida, to which it is almost endemic.[3] However, its range barely extends into parts of Georgia and Alabama.[2] In Georgia it is listed as critically imperiled.[4]
Ecology
Habitat
This species is found in sandhills and coastal scrub.[5] It is also found in longleaf pine savannas, sandy pinewoods and barrens, and on sand dunes, flats, and interdune hollows. Other habitats include open stands of evergreen oak shrub, flatwoods, saw-palmetto woods, borders of titi bogs, and in dry sandy scrub that borders mesic woodlands.[6] Agalinis filifolia is somewhat shade tolerant and found in a variety of moisture conditions, from dry to wet.[2] It is observed in mainly sandy soils, including loamy sand. It can also be found in disturbed habitats, including clear-cuts and pine plantations, roadside banks and ditches, and clearings for power lines.[6]
Associated species include Myrica cerifera, Aristida stricta, Myrica pusilo, Aristida spiciformis, Chrysoma, Polygonella, Ceratiola, Conradina, Saw palmetto, Quercus species, and Pinus species.[6]
Phenology
This species has been observed flowering August through October, with most flowering in September and OctoberCite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag, and fruiting August through November.[6]
Pollination
Polites vibex (the whirlabout or skipper) is known for nectaring A. filifolia.[7] Additionally, the following Hymenoptera families and species were observed visiting flowers of Agalinis filifolia at Archbold Biological Station:[8]
Apidae: Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens, B. pennsylvanicus
Halictidae: Agapostemon spledens, Augochlorella aurata, A. gratiosa, Lasioglossum coreopsis, L. miniatulus, L. nymphalis, L. placidensis, L. puteulanum
Megachilidae: Megachile brevis psedudobrevis, M. mendica, M. petulans, M. texana
Use by animals
Serves as larval food for the caterpillars of common buckeye butterflies[9] Agalinis species, including this one, host larvae of the common buckeye butterfly (Junonia coenia) in Florida.[10]
