Angelonia angustifolia, Summer Snapdragon, Scrophulariaceae

Genus and species: Angelonia angustifolia
Common Name: Summer Snapdragon
Family: Scrophulariaceae

This plant stands somewhat upright. The foliage is opposite and serrated and when crushed gives off a smell similar to apples! The flowers are clustered, terminate the plant, and come in a variety of colors.

Photos taken August 31, 2011 at Virginia Tech in the Hahn Horticulture Gardens.
