Coreopsis. COMPOSITE. 291 



* * * Annuals or biennials, one has been thought perennial, with opposite Isaves, yellow or 

 particolored rays, and dark-purple or brown disk-flowers: akenes short, with entire scarious 

 wings or none, incurved at maturity, one or both faces sometimes becoming papillose or tuber- 

 culate-roughened, or in some remaining smooth: heads scattered-paniculate: herbage glabrous 

 or nearly so, except in C. Drummondii. Calliopsis, Torr. & Gray, slightly extended. 



H Rays pure yellow : pappus a pair of conspicuous slender awns (or these rarely abortive) : leaves 

 from entire to 3-parted or simply pinnutely divided. Coreopsidium, Torr. & Gray. 



C. Leavenworthii, TORR. & GRAY. Annual, sometimes seemingly perennial, slender, 

 1 or 2 feet high : lower leaves or their 3 to 7 divisions from broadly linear to spatulate-lan- 

 ceolate: rays barely half-inch long: wings of the akene on each side as wide as the budy, 

 equalled or surpassed by the distinct erect awns. Moist ground in pine barrens, Florida; 

 first coll. by Lcarnucorth. 



Var. Garberi. Very remarkable form, more robust, all the cauline leaves pinnately 

 5-7-parted or divided into shorter and broader divisions; the terminal one from obovate to 

 lanceolate-oblong. Tampa, Florida, Garbcr: perhaps in over-luxuriant condition. 



-1 -i Rays with base or lower part brown-purple: pappus none or minute: leaves all 1-2-pin- 

 nately divided. 



H- Akenes winged. 



C. Atkinsoniana, DODGL. Root "perennial " or annual, flowering in autumn, stem 2 to 4 

 feet high : lobes of the leaves linear or nearly so : akenes with a narrow wing, sometimes a 

 mere scarious margin, and usually a pair of distinct short subulate teeth for pappus.

 River banks, Oregon, Washington Terr., and east to Dakota ; first coll. by Douglas. 



C. cardaminefolia, TORR. & GRAY. Root annual: stem a span to 2 feet high: lobes of 

 the lower or radical leaves oval to lanceolate, sometimes linear; of the upper mostly linear: 

 rays rarely half-inch long : akenes with a moderately broad wing, with which is sometimes 

 connected two obscure teeth. Fl. 1. c., with var. Uneariloba, the narrowest-leaved form.

 Kansas and New Mexico. (Adj. Mex.) 



-H- -H- Akenes wingless: pappus none or an obscure border: annuals. 



C. tinctoria, NUTT. Glabrous, 2 or 3 feet high : radical and some lower cauline leaves 

 2-pinnately divided into lanceolate or linear divisions ; upper with 3 to 7 linear divisions : 

 outer involucre short and close : rays from half to three-fourths inch long, sometimes base 

 only, sometimes nearly all crimson-brown : akenes oblong, thinnish, moderately incurved. -

 wan and Minnesota to Louisiana, Texas, and Arizona. Common everywhere in gardens. 



C. Drummoildii, TORR. & GRAY, 1. c. Low, pubescent with many-jointed lax hairs, 

 sometimes glabrous : divisions of the radical and lower cauline leaves from roundish-ovate 

 to oblong-lanceolate ; of the uppermost sometimes linear : peduncles inclined to be solitary 

 terminating stem and branches : outer involucre of loose and spreading more foliaceous 

 bracts, little shorter than the inner: rays broad, sometimes inch long, brown-purple only at 

 base : akenes oval or obovate, thick, much incurved at maturity, a cartilaginous margin 

 bordering the inner face. C. diver si folia, Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3474, not DC. Calliopsis 

 Drummondii, Don, Brit. Fl. Gard. ser. 2, t. 315. Sandy soil, Texas ; first coll. by Drummond. 

 Common in cultivation. 



Var. ViTriglltii. Lobes of the leaves narrower, linear and the broadest linear-oblong: 

 heads smaller: akenes circiuately incurved. PI. Wright, ii. 90. Rocky hills on the San 

 Pedro, W. Texas, Wright. 



2. LE^CHIA. Style-tips hispid or hirsute and abruptly produced into a cusp 

 or acute cone : akenes nearly orbicular, incurved at maturity, some or all of them 

 becoming papillose or muriculate at maturity, often developing a callus at base 

 and apex of the inner face (this varying greatly even in the same head) : pappus 

 of two small chaffy teeth, or none : outer involucre little shorter and more herba- 

 ceous than the inner : rays cuneate, palmately 3-5-lobed or toothed, mostly yellow,
