From what I'm reading about Helianthus divaricatus, they have a notable OPPOSITE leaf arrangment (also sessile). If the leaves were alternate here, this definitely isn't a match for that particular species. Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago

  Hmm, thanks. I must have written the description wrong. This should definitely be Helianthus divaricatus because I found it growing at a local audubon and it was labeled :). Posted 6 years ago
