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 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.
