Description
This description in Radford (1964) came from the synonym listed after the description of S. integrifolia var. integrifolia. "Perennial herbs with quadrangular, erect to ascending stems; stolons absent, or present and underground. Leaves sessile or petiolate. Racemes bracteate, often paniculate. Calyx zygomorphic, 2-lobed, the upper lobe crested, very small in flower and enlarging in fruit; corolla zygomorphic , upper lip galeate, 3-lobed, lower lip unlobed, usually white in the throat. The blue-flowered species occasionally have white flowered forms. Stamens 4, exserted; stigma 2-parted. Mericarps dark brown to black, closely set with tubercles or papillae in somewhat concentric rings, rounded, often somewhat flattened."[2]
"Plant not stoloniferous, forming clumps of 1-several stems. Stems erect, 1.5-8 dm tall, simple or branched above, pubescent. Lowest leaves triangular-ovate, 0.7-3.5 cm long, 0.2-2 cm wide, obtuse or acute, crenate, base truncate to widely cuneate; petioles 0.8-2.5 cm long. Upper leaves lanceolate to narrowly elliptic, 2.5-6 cm long, acute or obtuse, entire to remotely crenate, base cuneate to attenuate; petioles 0-10 mm long, mostly obscured by blade tissue. Racemes 1-5 rarely more, terminating the stems, 0.3-2 dm long. Lowest bracts often leafy, reduced rapidly upward. Calyx 2.5-3 mm long in flower, 6-8 mm in fruit; corolla blue to violet, 1.3-2.5 cm long. Mericarps dark brown, tuberculate, the tubercles with broad apices, 1-1.5 mm long."[2]
"Stems canescent."[2]
Distribution
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, S. multiglandulosa can be found in open pine-turkey oak flatwoods, recently burned scrubs, pine flatwoods, longleaf pine-turkey oak hills, sandridges, upland pine-oak woodlands, open oak-hickory, longleaf pine-wiregrass ridges, annually burned savannas, and longleaf pine forests.[3] It can also be found in roadside depressions, hiking trails in pine-oak woodlands, railroad gravel, cut and burned longleaf pine flatwoods, road banks, powerline corridors, fallow quail food patches, and cleared longleaf pine-scrub oaks. Associated species include Baptisia laceolata, Eupatorium capillifolium, Rubus cuneifoloum, Quercus geminata, Q. incana, Q. hemisphaerica, Sericocarpus tortifolius, Smilax auriculata, Polypremum procumbens, Serenoa repens, Rhus copallina, Helianthemum, Penstemon australis, Stylodon, Coreopsis, poison oak, and braken fern.[3]
Sands include loamy sand, loamy soil, gravel and sandy soil.[3]
Scutellaria multiglandulosais an indicator species for the North Florida Subxeric Sandhills community type as described in Carr et al. (2010).[4]
