Taxonomic notes
Synonym: Gerardia filifolia Nutt.[1]
Description
A. filifolia is an annual.[2]
Distribution
A. filifolia species is frequent in all of Florida, to which it is almost endemic, except for populations just over the line of Georgia and Alabama.[2] In Georgia it is listed as critically imperiled.[3]
Ecology
Habitat
A. filifolia is found in sandhills, coastal scrub,[4] 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.[5]
A. 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.[5]
Associated species include Morella cerifera, Aristida stricta, Myrica pusilo, Aristida spiciformis, and Serenoa repens.[5]
Phenology
This species has been observed flowering August through October, with most flowering in September and October[5][6], and fruiting August through November.[5]
Pollination
Polites vibex (the whirlabout or skipper) is known for nectaring A. filifolia.[7] Additionally, A. filifolia was observed at the Archbold Biological Station to host bees from the Apidae family such as Apis mellifera, Bombus impatiens, and B. pennsylvanicus, sweat bees from the family Halictidae such as Agapostemon spledens, Augochlorella aurata, A. gratiosa, Lasioglossum coreopsis, L. miniatulus, L. nymphalis, L. placidensis, and L. puteulanum, and leafcutting bees from the family Megachilidae such as Megachile brevis psedudobrevis, M. mendica, M. petulans, and M. texana.[8]
Herbivory and toxicology
A. filifolia 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]
