This map is based on our research. We have checked its accuracy to Level 3 ecoregions. Although this plant occurs somewhere in each of these regions, it may only occur in a small part of some or all of them.

↑Notes

POWO/INPI treats this as merged into coastal plain tickseed (Coreopsis gladiata), following the treatment of Gleason & Cronquist (1991) in Manual of Vascular Plants of Northeastern United States and Adjacent Canada, Second Edition as well as Vascular Flora of the Southeastern States (Cronquist 1980, Isely 1990).

However we treat this taxon as a separate species; Alan Weakley in his Flora of the Southeastern US asserts that it "should not be included" in C. gladiata because of differences in habitat preferences, morphology, phenology, and distribution. BONAP also considers them distinct species.
