Deam's Coneflower


This is Rudbeckia fulgida var. deamii, Deam's coneflower. Picture taken July 30, 2010.

Deam's coneflower is a rare plant in the wild, Charles Deam was the first to find it and he only found it in two places in Indiana. The first place he found it (the type location) was in 1914 in Carroll County on the bank of Wildcat Creek close to where the Monon Railroad crossed the creek. After 1916 he never was able to find it there again.
