Coreopsis sp. [Glassy Mtn HP]


 

COMMON NAME:
a puzzling Coreopsis [Glassy Mtn HP]


Coreopsis grandiflora, C. pubescens, and C. major var. rigida are all said to occur at this site, but there also appears to be another entity that doesn't fit neatly into those. Early in the growing season, it resembles C. pubescens (pubescence, leaf divisions, width and shape of terminal leaflet), but as the season progresses it's less obviously distinguishable from grandiflora (thus few late season pics are displayed here)... Could this be a hybrid of C. grandiflora and C. pubescens? is it just ordinary variability of one or the other? or is it something that needs further investigation?
