The only Coreopsis on the plant list for Paine's Prairie is Coreopsis leavenworthii...so I'm going with that...these plants are pretty variable. If you get any more pics please add them.

I found it in a sandy area in the Paines Prairie, which is in Gainesville. It is a state park with thousands of acres which includes Woodlands,Prairies,Hammock and Sandy areas with Pines. I took other photos of another yellow type Daisey, that is a bit different, I will put on, soon.

I tend to think this is a Coreopsis by looking at the inflorescence & the flower buds...but, I can't find a species that looks just like it. How would you describe the area where you found it?

Also check Tithonia...!!
