tickseed
Tickseed is a common name for any plant in the genus Coreopsis, most of which are native to North America. These plants are often used in gardening for their bright, showy flowers that bloom throughout summer and autumn. The name "tickseed" comes from the appearance of the tiny, dark seeds, which resemble ticks. They are part of the sunflower family, and are often perennials or annuals growing up to 4 feet in height.

Tickseed
Coreopsis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Common names include calliopsis and tickseed, a name shared with various other plants. They range from 46–120 cm in height. The flat fruits are small and dry and look like bugs. Many of its 35 to 114 species are cultivated. 28 species are native to North America and the others come from Central and South America. The flowers are usually yellow with a toothed tip. They have showy flower heads with involucral bracts in two distinct series of eight each, the outer being commonly connate at the base. The name Coreopsis is derived from the Greek words κορις, meaning "bedbug," and ὄψις, meaning "view," referring to the shape of the achene. Coreopsis species are used as food plants by the caterpillars of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora acamtopappi. Coreopsis is closely related to Bidens. In fact, neither Coreopsis nor Bidens, as defined in the 20th century, is monophyletic. One group which does seem to be monophyletic consists of temperate species from North America, including five sections of Coreopsis, Bidens coronata and Bidens tripartita, and the genus Thelesperma.
