Heterotheca schneideri (Heterotheca villosa)

Heterotheca villosa (a.k.a. Chrysopsis villosa) was recently split into a dozen or more newly-defined species. This one is either Heterotheca schneideri or Heterotheca pumila; I've tentatively marked it as H. schneideri based on emails with both the author (Guy Nesom) and the namesake (Al Schneider) of that species.
