About Coreopsis pulchra F.E.Boynton

Coreopsis pulchra F.E.Boynton (also previously referred to as Anacis pulchra) is a North American wildflower in the family Asteraceae, found in the Southeastern United States. Its common names are woodland tickseed, showy tickseed, and beautiful tickseed. This species is native only to the Cumberland Plateau of northeastern Alabama; it may have grown historically in nearby Georgia. It grows on sandstone outcrops. Due to its narrow habitat requirements and small geographic range, this species is considered imperiled. It blooms from June through September; its flower heads are gold with dark centers. It is an herbaceous perennial plant that grows to a height of about 60 cm (2 feet).
