- Comments
- Two of the four known varieties of Rudbeckia hirta listed by Urbatsch and Cox in FNA (Vol. 21, 2006) occur in Virginia. Var. hirta occurs in the Appalachian region, often in natural habitats. Var. pulcherrima, the common weedy black-eyed-susan in Virginia, is widespread in the e. US, behaves like an introduction, but is generally reported to be native to our area. The two taxa have generally not been distinguished among herbarium specimens, although var. pulcherrima is definitely the more common and widespread of the two.
