|discussion=<p><i>Helianthus decapetalus</i> is sometimes confused with <i>Heliopsis helianthoides</i> because of shared habitats and superficial similarities. The tetraploid cytotype of <i>H. decapetalus</i> intergrades (and apparently hybridizes) with <i>H. strumosus</i>, particularly in the southern Appalachians; individual specimens can be difficult to place in one or the other species. In addition to morphologic differences, <i>H. decapetalus</i> usually occurs in more mesic habitats, particularly along watercourses; <i>H. strumosus</i> is found in drier sites such as roadside slopes. <i>Helianthus</i> ×multiflorus Linnaeus is a sterile hybrid, often with “doubled” heads (in which disc florets are replaced by ray florets); it is cultivated and is sometimes included within <i>H. decapetalus</i>, e.g., <i>H. decapetalus</i> <i></i>var.<i> multiflorus</i> (Linnaeus) A. Gray; its parents are <i>H. decapetalus</i> and <i>H. annuus</i>.</p>
