|discussion=<p>All parts of <i>Linum arenicola</i> flowers are yellow; the stamens are held close to the styles, with anthers at the same level as stigmas. The staminodia are low, deltoid, and less than 0.5 mm. <i>Linum arenicola</i> is only known from about nine sites in Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys in Monroe County. Its habitat of pine rocklands has been almost completely destroyed by urban development and altered fire regimes. J. R. McDill (2009) reported that <i>L. arenicola</i> grouped with <i>L. rupestre</i> (southwestern United States), L. flagellare (Small) H. J. P. Winkler (southcentral Mexico), and L. bahamense Northrop (Bahamas), all perennials with many branches arising from a woody taproot or caudex. <i>Linum arenicola</i> and L. bahamense both occur on calcareous soils, and C. M. Rogers (1984) considered them to be closely related.</p>
