--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Annuals,</b> perennials, subshrubs, or shrubs, 10–80(–200+) cm (often rhizomatous or with cormiform bases, stoloniferous in <i>C. auriculata</i>). <b>Stems</b> usually 1, erect, branched distally or ± throughout. <b>Leaves</b> basal, basal and cauline, or cauline; opposite or alternate or both; petiolate or sessile; blades simple and entire (dentate in <i>C. latifolia</i>), or ± pinnately or pedately lobed, faces glabrous or hairy. <b>Heads</b> radiate, borne singly or in open, ± corymbiform arrays. <b>Calyculi</b> of (3–)8+, distinct, ± herbaceous bractlets. <b>Involucres</b> ± globose to cylindric, 4–25+ mm diam. <b>Phyllaries</b> usually ± 8 in ± 2 series (usually distinct, rarely connate ± 1/10 their lengths, mostly oblong to linear, ± membranous, margins ± scarious). <b>Receptacles</b> flat to convex, paleate; paleae falling, ovate to linear or subulate, ± flat, ± scarious (not adnate to and not falling with cypselae except in <i>C. bigelovii</i>). <b>Ray</b> florets mostly (5–)8(–12+, more in “double” cultivars), neuter, or styliferous and sterile, or pistillate and fertile; corollas usually yellow, sometimes red-brown to purple proximally, sometimes wholly purple or pink to white. <b>Disc</b> florets 8–150+, bisexual, fertile; corollas usually yellow, sometimes red-brown to purple at tips or throughout, tubes equaling or shorter than narrowly funnelform throats, lobes 4 or 5 (adaxial sinus seldom deeper than others). <b>Cypselae</b> obcompressed, ± orbiculate to ovate, oblong, or linear, usually thin-margined or winged, wings membranous to chartaceous or corky, entire or lobed to toothed, sometimes ciliolate; faces smooth or ± papillate to tuberculate; pappi 0, or persistent, of 2 bristly cusps or scales (sometimes pappi 0 and shoulders of cypsela wings ± bristly, pappus-like). <b>x</b> = 14.</span><!--

--><p>Early leaves of some coreopsises often differ from later leaves on individual plants. In such plants, early (proximal) leaves may be 1–3-pinnately or pedately lobed and 12–25+ cm long with 9–15+ orbiculate to lanceolate, linear, or filiform lobes and contrast markedly with later (distal) leaves 1–3 cm that are undivided or have 3–5+ lanceolate to linear or filiform lobes.</p><!--
--><p>Cultivars (often “doubles” with multiple series of “ray” florets) derived from <i>Coreopsis auriculata</i>, <i>C. grandiflora</i>, <i>C. lanceolata</i>, and <i>C. tinctoria</i> are grown in public and residential gardens and are grown commercially for cut flowers.</p>
