| Distribution | Piedmont, low Mountains, and a few places on the Coastal Plain with Piedmont-like affinities, such as along the Cape Fear River.
VA to KY, south to FL and LA. | |
| Abundance | Fairly common in the Piedmont; locally uncommon in rich soil in the Coastal Plain (mainly along brownwater rivers), and rare in the southern/lower Mountains. | |
| Habitat | Mesic to moist hardwoods and mixed pine-hardwood forests, often on slopes or at bases of slopes. Soils are rather nutrient-rich. | |
| Phenology | Flowering and fruiting April-June. | |
| Identification | As its common name suggests, Lobed Tickseed has 1-2 lobes on most leaves (some are simple). As in most tickseeds, the flower heads are raised well above the leaves; they have a dark orange-yellow disk and golden-yellow rays. | |
