Treatment appears in FNA Volume 17. Treatment on page 540. Mentioned on page 538, 548.

Stems widely branched, 20–60 cm; branches ascending, angular distally, scabridulous.

Discussion

Agalinis caddoensis is known only from two collections made by F. W. Pennell in 1913 and is most similar morphologically to A. navasotensis; see 22. A. navasotensis for a comparison. Agalinis caddoensis should be expected in northwestern Louisiana and eastern Texas and likely flowers in September as does A. navasotensis.
