Coreopsis grandiflora Hogg ex Sweet var. saxicola (Alexander) E.B. Smith. Common name: Stone Mountain Coreopsis. Habitat: Granitic and sandstone outcrops. Distribution: C. GA, ec. AL, MS, and nc. AR.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Taxonomy Comments: As interpreted by Smith (1976) and Cronquist (1980), this variety is endemic to granite outcrops in c. GA and ec. AL and to sandstone outcrops in nc. AR; the AR plants, differing in morphology, phenology, karyotype, and distribution, may well warrant separate status.
