38. COREOPSIS LINN. 
Annual or perennial herbs, with leaves various. Heads 
terminating the peduncle like branches; central flowers tub- 
ular, outer and neutral ones rayed; ligules particolored, yel- 
low. or rarely pink; involucre campanulate, their bracts in. 
two series, more or less united at the base; the outer series 
usually narrow and herbaceous, the inner broader and thin; 
scales scarious; anther bases entire; style tips truncate or 
subulate; achenes flat, oblong, angled or winged; pappus 
none, or of few short teeth. 
Species about 70; chiefly American, some in Africa, 
Australia and on the Sandwitch Islands. 
1. C. drummondii T. and G. Fl. North Am. 2; 435, 1840. 
Small Fl. South. U. S. 1277, 1903.—A branched and glabrous 
introduced species. Leaves  petioled, laciniately dissected, 
glabrous, sharply pointed. Heads upon slender glabrous ped- 
uncles; bracts glabrous, in two series, nearly equal in length; 
outer ones nerved, slenderly acuminate; inner ones broader, 
slightly colored, nerveless; flowers all yellow; the ligulate ones 
neu- tral; scales linear, membranous; achenes smooth, without 
bristles; the outer ones fusiform, fluted and obscurely an- 
gled; the central ones more or less compressed, beaked. 
Villar Nov. App. 118, 1880, cites *C. elegans Linn.” of which 
we are unable to find any published record. From one of the 
synonyms in his list C. tinctoria Nutt. our species is chiefly 
distinguished by its involucre. Probably it should be referred 
under C. gracilis Bleo. Fl. Filip. ed. 2; 591, 1845. Merrill Govt. 
Lab. Publ. 6; 25, 1904 considers it Cosmos sulphureus Cav., 
but our specimens are without the retrorsely scabrous pap- 
pus bristles. :
