Draft Genome Assemblies for 36 Species of False Foxglove (Agalinis, Orobanchaceae)

Agalinis, commonly known as the false foxgloves, is a genus of hemiparasitic plants in Orobanchaceae, the largest family of parasitic plants. The genus comprises approximately 70 species distributed throughout the Americas, with about half of its diversity in North America and half in South America. Here we present draft genome assemblies for 36 Agalinis species and one Aureolaria species, generated from both herbarium specimens and silica-dried leaves. These assemblies are highly complete and provide valuable genomic resources for investigating the systematics and genome evolution of the group.
