"Agalinis acuta" is an annual hemiparasitic plant native to Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Long Island, New York. It is one of about 70 species that comprise genus "Agalinis". It currently resides within the family Orobanchaceae, but historically was aligned with members of the Scrophulariaceae [ [http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=AGALI PLANTS Profile for Agalinis USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service] ] . This was one of several re-alignments that were the consequence of the disintegration of the Scrophulariaceae as the result of conclusions based on molecular phylogeny data from the chloroplast genome.

"Agalinis acuta" received federal protection on public lands upon being listed in 1987 under the Endangered Species Act. [U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 1988. Determination of Agalinis acuta to be an endangered species. Federal Register 53:34701-34705.] Threats to extinction mentioned in the report listing the species were those that are characteristics of most threatened species; habitat fragmentation, lack of regulatory mechanisms protecting the species, and overexploitation for commercial or academic purposes.
