| flowers--notice that there is almost no pedicel, in contrast to Agalinis edwardsiana | flower closeup--notice how the stamens and stigma hang down from the top of the corolla tube. How many petals compose the sympetalous corolla? How can you tell? |
|
|
 |
| closeup of the throat of the corolla tube--large bees pollinate the flowers of Agalinis, and presumably they are attracted to these spots | flower bud and old flowers--the corollas have fallen off the bottom 3 flowers. What structure is left sticking out of these 3 flowers? Also, notice the lack of a pedicel! |
|
|
 |
| Remember, Agalinis heterophylla has very short pedicel! | branching pattern--in this species (as well as in A. edwardsiana), the branches come off at almost 90-degree angles. |
|
|
 |
| leaves--these leaves are broader than those of Agalinis edwardsiana | habit--without flowers, it would be much more difficult to spot Agalinis heterophylla! |
