Abstract
The purple coneflower referred to as Echinacea (Brauneria) pallida in the numerous ecological publications of John E. Weaver on the Central North American Grasslands over a 50-year period (1919-1968) was actual ly E. angustifolia DC. Interestingly, Weaver used the specific epithet pallida throughout his career, even though the Aoristic manuals that covered all or part of his study area and most other Great Plains plan t ecologists of the period used angustifolia.
