|discussion=<p>Reports of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpurea</i> from Maine have not been verified by the authors.</p><!--
--><p>Variety purpurea is most easily confused with <i>Agalinis harperi</i> but differs from <i>A. harperi</i> by characters used in the key and by having leaves usually as long as, or longer than, the internodes they subtend. Plants of <i>A. harperi</i> have leaves shorter than the elongated internodes. The internodes immediately proximal to the racemes are especially elongated in <i>A. harperi</i>, imparting a much more open appearance than the often bushy and leafy <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpurea</i>. The narrowly linear-leaved plants of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpurea</i> found in brackish marshes and pine barrens appear more leafy than <i>A. harperi</i> because of many axillary fascicles and/or axillary branchlets. The calyx lobes of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpurea</i> are variable in shape and length but are not keeled like those of <i>A. harperi</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Plants of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpurea</i> usually are easily distinguished from <i>Agalinis fasciculata</i> by their glabrate stems and few to no axillary fascicles versus the often harshly, and more uniformly, scabrous stems and abundant axillary fascicles of <i>A. fasciculata</i>. Variety purpurea has spreading to broadly arching branches; branches of <i>A. fasciculata</i> are ascending from a clearly defined elongated main stem and the terminal racemes arch downward as fruits mature. Some plants of <i></i></i>var.<i><i> purpurea</i> in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas are more pubescent than usual and can be confused with <i>A. fasciculata</i>. The larger, recurved trichomes are concentrated along the angles of the main stem and largest branches on <i>A. purpurea</i>. On <i>A. fasciculata</i> the larger trichomes occur on both the angles and faces of the main stem and largest branches. Both taxa may have scabrous branches, especially distally. It is best to evaluate indument on the mid region of the main stem and largest branches when comparing <i>A. fasciculata</i> and <i>A. purpurea</i>.</p>
