''Agalinis paupercula'', commonly known as the smallflower false foxglove, is a hemiparasitic annual plant native to the eastern parts of the United States and Canada. Found in open, moist areas, its purple flowers are borne on a stem, and bloom in August and September. The species has often been treated as a variety of ''Agalinis purpurea'', the purple false foxglove, and preliminary genetic evidence suggests that the two are, in fact, a single species. ==Description== Individuals of this species are herbaceous, erect annuals, tall. The smooth stem is four-angled and may be simple or branching. The stem or stems bear opposite, sessile leaves, lacking lobes, which are linear and wide.〔 Leaves on branches may be borne alternately.〔 The flowers appear from August to September. They are borne in racemes, on pedicels of ,〔 borne in the leaf axils of the upper leaves. They are surrounded by a calyx of five sepals, fused into a tube at the base and separated into distinct lobes above. The pointed, triangular lobes of the calyx are almost as long as its tube. Within the calyx lies the corolla of the flower, which is campanulate (bell-shaped) and pink to purple in color, with five slightly irregular, spreading lobes. The corolla is in length.〔 The tube of the corolla tends to bulge on the underside. Within the flower are four stamens and a flattened stigma, the lower pair of stamens longer than the upper. The filaments are hairy near the base. The flowers mature into globose to subglobose, loculicidal fruits.〔 ''Agalinis paupercula'' is quite similar to ''A. purpurea'', and may represent a variety of that species. The two can be distinguished by the smaller flowers of ''A. paupercula'' (''A. purpurea'' has a corolla of ), and by the long lobes of the calyx, which in ''A. purpurea'' are typically not more than half the length of the calyx tube.〔
