Scutellaria multiglandulosa is a flowering plant in the genus Scutellaria and family Lamiaceae. It grows in parts of the Southeastern United States.[1] It is sometimes referred to by the common name Small's skullcap.[2]
Description
S. multiglandulosa can reach a height between 1.5 and 8 decimeters (approximately 5.9 to 31.5 inches). The lowest-sitting leaves are triangular-ovate in shape and have a length of 0.7 to 3.5 centimeters. The higher leaves are range in shape from lanceolate to narrowly elliptic, with a length ranging between 2.5 and 6 centimeters.[3]
When flowers are produced (between April and May) they are blue to violet in color.[4][3] Petals are 1.3 to 2.5 centimeters in length.[3]
Habitat
Within the United States' Coastal Plain region, this species has been observed occurring in habitat types such as pine flatwoods, recently-burned scrubs, sandridges, and longleaf pine forests, among others.[5]
It occurs in environments with loamy soil, loamy sand, sandy soil, and gravel.[5]
Ecology
Scutellaria multiglandulosa is insect pollinated and is recorded to have been visited in northern Florida by Ceratina. [6]
