Helianthus scaberrimus, Ell. (H. rigidus, Desf. H. missiouriensis, Schwein.). St. 1-3 ft. high (rarely 5-8 ft.), strict, sparingly branched, rough or hairy: lvs. 6-12 in. long, oblong to ovate-lanceolate, firm, thick, rough- hairy, entire or slightly toothed: fls. 2 ½ -4 in. wide, showy, long-stalked; rays numerous, about 1 ½ in. long; disk sometimes yellow at first, turning brown. Aug.-Oct. Minn, to Ill., Ga., and Texas prairies. B.R. 508 (as H. atrorubens). B.M. 2020 (as H. diffusus); 2668 (H.atrorubens). Gn. 27, p. 68. G. 3:391; 17: 544 (both as Harpalium rigidum).—After H. decapetalus this species is one of the best perennial sunflowers. It varies under cult, chiefly in the direction of doubling and in lengthening the blooming period. Some of the best garden varieties are aestivalis, grandiflorus, semiplenus and Miss Mellish.
