Discussion | Occurrence of Coreopsis rosea in South Carolina may represent a human-mediated disjunction; the collection came from a “lime sink” near a trailer park close to a freeway. (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.) |
