Discussion | Plants that have been called Coreopsis lanceolata var. villosa Michaux often have 5+ aerial internodes 6+ cm long proximal to the first peduncle; they may merit recognition as a distinct taxon or may be hybrids (or derivatives) from crosses between C. lanceolata and C. pubescens. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Plants in the western part of the distribution of Coreopsis basalis usually have narrower lobes of leaf blades and narrower outer phyllaries; such plants have been treated as C. wrightii or as C. basalis var. wrightii. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
