Zinnia tenuiflora, Jacq. Very distinct by reason of its linear rays which are cardinal-red in color, becoming revolute. It has a dainty fl.-head about 1 in. across hardly comparable with the showy Z. elegans. This species has been cult. in Amer. but seems to be no longer advertised here. It is referred to Z. pauciflora by most writers, and to Z. multiflora by Robinson & Greenman. B.M. 555. A.G. 11:243.

{{Inc|
Zinnia multiflora, Linn. This and the next are included by most writers in Z. pauciflora, but Z. multiflora may be distinguished from Z. pauciflora by the pubescence of the st. being much finer, appressed or rarely spreading, and the rays red or purple, mostly narrow and suberect or scarcely spreading.

{{Inc|
Zinnia pauciflora, Linn. An erect annual: lvs. lanceolate to oblong-ovate, usually rough: heads yellow, about 1 in. across, with rather broad, spreading, red, purple or mostly yellow rays in cult. specimens: plant hirsute, with spreading hairs: somewhat corymbosely branched above: peduncles at maturity enlarged upward and hollow. Mex., Peruvian Andes.

Grows quickly, bearing flowers with up to 1 in (2.5cm) yellow or orange ray florets (up to 15 in all), surrounding a yellow or black-purple disc. Blooms come on stems above the leaves. Narrow leaves are bright green and lance-shaped leaves, growing almost 3 in (8 cm) long.
