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 nuecensis is probably in Mexico (Tamaulipas) and was collected once in Florida (“Escaped from cultivation”). Plants with glabrous phyllaries and chromosome numbers of 2n = 18 and 20 and included here in C. nuecensis have been called C. nuecensoides.
