|discussion=<p><i>Agalinis heterophylla</i> is the most common species of <i>Agalinis</i> in Oklahoma and is common in southern Arkansas, eastern Texas, and throughout Louisiana, except the extreme southeastern portion of the state (J. E. Williams 1973; K. A. Vincent 1982). The species occurs sporadically in eastern Mississippi and is rare in Alabama, Missouri, and Tennessee. It differs from the closely related, and rare, <i>A. calycina</i> by wider leaves, shorter pedicels, larger corollas, and smaller capsules. It differs from <i>A. auriculata</i>, which has auriculate leaves, retrorse hairs on stems and branches, spikelike racemes, and ovate-lanceolate calyx lobes.</p>
