Rough gerardia

Oakdale Township, Noble County, Oklahoma

A member of the figwort family, the rough gerardia (Agalinis aspera) plant is sometimes known as rough false foxglove, rough tall foxglove and rough angalinis. Its name comes from the sandpaper-like feel of its stem and leaves. Usually growing in sandy soils, the plants can be found on the Great Plains from Manitoba to Texas.

This flower is found growing in very boggy areas (along the Pinawa Channel) as well as in low mossy sites on the precambrian shield around Pinawa, Manitoba, Canada.
