Berlandiera betonicifolia
Berlandiera texana
I seem to have my photos on both entries, but they're all the same species in my yard. Some sites have B. texana as a synonym of B. betonicifolia. Could you please check this?

Apparently it is a toss up at the moment Linda. Catalog of Life list both name as provisionally accepted. B. betonicifolia was listed as B. texana var. betonicifolia. Now it is provisionally listed as a separate species.

Catalog of Life shows both as provisionally accepted names. So, currently, both plants exist separate of each other. As far as which one you actually have, I am unsure. Perhaps one of our sleuths in the plant id forum can help shed some light on the subject.

I always thought I had B. texana, but I may have been confused once and put a couple of pics under the other name.

Flora of North America still shows Berlandiera betonicifolia as Berlandiera X betonicifolia ( one of it's synonyms) because it was/is thought to be a hybrid of B. texana and B. pumila.

If anyone feels like wading through scientific jargon here is a description of the two, scroll down to the bottom. You can click on the individual names to see a more in depth description.

No reason to think you are wrong about it's ID. I can move the photos and comment you posted over to B. texana if you like. (I'm assuming the comment was meant for B texana as well?)

Okay, according to the description, then my plants are B. texana, definitely. The pics under B. betonicifolia should be moved.

done.

Thank you, Rob!

Hello Linda, do you still grow this plant? Sun or shade, how much water? Pls share how you care For it. thanks

Yes, I do. They are mostly in the sun. They're a bit drought-tolerant and don't need a lot of water, but sometimes they will bloom more often if watered more. Easy to grow, unfortunately will grow pretty much wherever the seeds fall in my yard.
