Abstract
Researches the variation in Gaillardia pulchella var. pulchella, which is represented by two edaphic races in central Texas. This species has increased on roadsides and pastures leading to hybridization between the two races. Hybrid populations had significant clinal variation associated with edaphic ecotones.Suggested Citation
