Ecology

Habitat

This species is found in sandhills and coastal scrub (Wunderlin and Hansen 2003). It is also found in longleaf pine savannas, sandy pinewoods and barrens, and on sand dunes, flats, and interdune hollows. Other habitat includes open stands of evergreen oak shrub, flatwoods, saw-palmetto woods, borders of titi bogs, and in dry sandy scrub that borders mesic woodlands (FSU Herbarium). Agalinis filifolia is somewhat shade tolerant and found in a variety of moisture conditions, from dry to wet (Hall 1993). It is observed in mainly sandy soils, including loamy sand. It can also be found in disturbed habitat, including clear-cuts and pine plantations, roadside banks and ditches, and clearings for power lines (FSU Herbarium).
