Beach false foxglove (Agalinus fasciculata, Orobanchaceae)

These were along the drive just beyond the parking lot for the trail to the tower. In past visits, the plants were much taller. Perhaps recent mowings had kept these short. The stems were dark brown, which, in addition to the small lavender flowers, made the plants easy to spot.

Dwarf Canadian horseweed (Conyza canadensis var. pusilla, Asteraceae)

New to this blog. The purple tips on the phylalaries identify this Canadian horseweed as the var. pusilla. I have mistakenly called this plant "smallhead doll's daisy" in the past; however, that species has larger flower heads and is not found in Brevard or neighboring counties.

These were found where I usually find them--a short distance beyond the parking lot for the trail to the tower.
