A large number of species have been proposed within Rudbeckia, but most are now regarded as synonyms of the limited list given below. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank. In Scientific nomenclature, synonyms are different Scientific names used for a single Taxon. Several of these currently accepted species have several accepted varieties. Some of them (for example the Black-eyed Susan, R. hirta), are popular garden flowers, distinguished for their long flowering times. There are many cultivars of these species. A cultivar is a cultivated Plant that has been selected and given a unique name because of its decorative or useful characteristics it is usually distinct from similar

Rudbeckia species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Cabbage Moth and Dot Moth. A larva ( Latin; plural larvae) is a juvenile form of Animal with indirect development, undergoing Metamorphosis (for example Lepidoptera is an order of Insect that includes Moths and butterflies. Note the Small White species of butterfly is commonly called a "cabbage moth" in North America The Dot Moth ( Melanchra persicariae) is a Moth of the family Noctuidae.

The name was given by Carolus Linneaus in honor of his teacher at Uppsala University, Professor Olof Rudbeck the Younger (1660-1740), and his father, Professor Olof Rudbeck the Elder (1630-1702), both of whom were botanists.
