|discussion=<p><i>Crocanthemum nashii</i> and <i>C. arenicola</i> are the only species in <i>Crocanthemum</i> with stellate-pubescent ovaries and capsules; <i>C. nashii</i> is unique in having two-valved capsules. It was discovered in New Hanover County, North Carolina, in 1997, disjunct some 540 km from the northernmost Florida populations. The uniformly gray-green foliage, thyrsoid inflorescence, and often patch-forming habit render it unmistakable within its range. Plants with simple hairs mixed with stellate hairs on the calyx were named Helianthemum thyrsoideum.</p>
