What is the lance/sword leafed plant located in the cataract bog at Eva Chandler Preserve in SC?
Hi Tom,
I didn’t know this one, so I referred your picture to Dr. Bert Pittman in Columbia, who, as it turns out, has been working on this plant. He told me that it is a Coreopsis in the section Eublepharis, and is most likely Coreopsis gladiata. I love this nature preserve and that is a beautiful picture!
And thanks to Bert!
Sincerely,
Dr. Steven R. Hill, Botanist, SCNPS
