Twenty-eight species are native to the North America and the others come from Central and South America. The flowers are usually yellow with a toothed tip. The name is derived from the Greek word koris, meaning Bedbug. The plants are also popularly called "Calliopsis."

Coreopsis species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Coleophora acamtopappi.
