Discussion

Of conservation concern.

Helianthus smithii is known from relatively few sites. T. A. Storbeck (1984) concluded that it is a distinct species; he could not rule out the possibility that it might be a hybrid of H. microcephalus and H. strumosus. It may also be an extreme variant of H. strumosus that has relatively narrow leaves and small heads.
