|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Agalinis aphylla</i> grow in more mesic portions of wetlands and rarely grow in the deep, saturated, mucky soil where <i>A. harperi</i> and <i>A. linifolia</i> are found. The ecotone between these communities is marked by the distribution of <i>A. aphylla</i>, which often forms a distinctive border between inundated and saturated to mesic soil. The pedicels, buds, and capsules of <i>A. aphylla</i> dry reddish brown to black and contrast markedly with the much paler greenish tan stems and branches. Corollas dry brownish pink, and styles are often pilose.</p>
