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.

Coreopsis californica may occur sporadically in New Mexico. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
