About 70; see text Agalinis (false foxglove) is a genus of about 70 species in North, Central, and South America that until recently was aligned with members of the family Scrophulariaceae.

[2] As a result of numerous molecular phylogenetic studies based on various chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) loci, it was shown to be more closely related to members of the Orobanchaceae.

Her taxonomic, anatomical, and developmental studies have greatly enhanced our understanding of this sometimes perplexing group.

There are a number of species in North America that are ranked at the state and federal level.

There are a number of rare (and endemic) species that are not noted at the state or federal level, and the biogeography of this group in North America has yet to be studied in detail, and is poorly understood.
