plant soon afterward described and figured by David Don as Calliopsis 

 Drummondii, which has generally passed in American literature as 

 Coreopsis Drummondii. The seed from which the plant was grown at 

 the Berlin Garden was stated by Otto & Dietrich to have come from 

 Missouri, but as it was included in a large lot of seeds received at second 

 hand from an unknown collector there was obvious chance of error in 

 regard to its origin, and there can be no doubt that it really came from 

 Texas, to which the species is apparently confined. The probable 

 identity of Calliopsis basalis and C. Drummondii was first brought to 

 my attention through a manuscript note on a sheet in the British 

 Museum by Mr. S. LeM. Moore, to whom I am indebted for permis- 

 sion to publish this note. 



The form with linear or linear-oblong leaf-lobes described by Gray 

 (Syn. Fl. i. pt. 2. 291 (1884)) as Coreopsis Drummondii var. Wrightii 

 becomes C. basalis (Dietr.) Blake var. Wrightii (Gray) Blake, n. 

 comb.
