Glandularia bipinnatifida, commonly called Dakota mock vervain,[1] prairie verbena, and Moradilla, among others,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family (Verbenaceae).
It is native to North America, where its natural range extends from the United States south to Nicaragua.[3] In the United States, it is found primarily in the Great Plains and in the Blackland Prairies of the Southeast.[4] Elsewhere in North America, it is occasionally found as a non-persisting waif.[5] Its natural habitat is in open grassy areas, including prairies. It can be found in both high-quality natural communities and in disturbed areas.[5][6]
Glandularia bipinnatifida is an herbaceous or semi-woody perennial.[7] It produces pink or purple flowers primarily in the spring, but can bloom anytime throughout the growing season.[6] Its leaves are finely dissected, into segments that are 1–4 mm wide. It can be distinguished from the similar-looking Glandularia pulchella by its long flower bracts, and wider leaf segments.[5]
