Helenium bigelovii
It bears ray flowers that are usually bright yellow in color and disc flowers that are yellow in bloom and then turn dark brown. The flowerheads have a characteristic shape with a very spherical disc and the 14-30 "petals" (the ray flowers) reflexed downward and toothed or lobed at their ends.
