Coneflower

See text Coneflower is a flowering plant in family Asteraceae, a member of genuses Rudbeckia or Echinacea. The disk flowers show a cone-like form that often persists after the ray flowers are lost. The genus Rudbeckia is distinguished from other genera by the cylindrical disc of the flower head. These annual or perennial plants are also called Gloriosa daisies or Black-eyed susans. Some species have been developed into popular cultivars. The Rudbeckia genus has about six species (the actual number is controversial), and Echinacea holds many more, all native to North America.
  • Some Rudbeckia species:
R. fulgida - Orange coneflower, Black-eyed susan
R. hirta - Black-eyed susan, Gloriosa daisy, Yellow ox-eye daisy.
R. laciniata - Green-headed coneflower.
R. lanceolata -
R. serotina -
R. speciosa - Showy coneflower
R. subtomentosa - Sweet coneflower
R. triloba - Thin-leaved coneflower

Uses

Many species are used in prairie restorations and for ornamental use. Used by domestic stock for forage, an abundance of these plants on a rangeland indicates good health. Plains Indians valued the plants of the genus Echinacea as their most important source of herbal remedies.
