plant soon afterward described and figured by David Don as Calliopsis 
rummondi, 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. Wrightu 
becomes C. BASALIS (Dietr.) Blake var. Wrightii (Gray) Blake, n. 
comb.
