- Comments
- Recent phylogenetic work has shown that North American species previously assigned to Cynoglossum are in a strictly New World clade also including Cryptantha, Amsinckia, Plagiobothrys, and other genera not closely related to Cynoglossum officinale, the type of the genus Cynoglossum. Our native species has been transferred to the new genus Andersonglossum; see Cohen (2015, Syst. Bot. 40: 611-619).
- Habitat
- Mesic to rather upland dry forests; favors moderately to strongly base-rich soils. Frequent to common throughout.
