Gaillardia pulchella Foug. Mem. Acad. Paris, 1786, 5 (1786). 



Two forms were collected at Corpus Christi, in low, dry ground along 

 the beach. One is ascending, rather naked, at least below, inclined to 

 be woody, and leaflets usually entire. The other is low, prostrate, with 

 thick, fleshy leaves, and large flowers, with red-brown rays (1424). At 

 San Antonio, and about Kerrville, where it grows in large patches, the 

 ordinary form is found, with the outer part of the range yellow.
