Coreopsis linifolia Nuttall — Savanna Coreopsis

Habitat:

Savannas, sandhill seeps, sandhill-pocosin ecotones. Basal rosettes of this species are abundant in wet savannas and can be distinguished readily by the distinctive leaves: very long-petiolate, about 1 cm across, the pinnate venation very neat (the main lateral veins straight and parallel to the other laterals on the same side of the leaf), with small dark dots when backlit, and very thick (ca. 1 mm) and stiff in texture.
