Heterotheca subaxillaris, Camphorweed, Coral Springs, FL

My concern with this identification is twofold:
(1) The length of the petals relative to the overall size of the flower seem too small for Heterotheca subaxillaris
(2) The buds are smoother in my pix. The ones on-line seem to have "scales".

Also, the leaves (not shown in this picture) are a pretty close match to those shown on this page, but not on some other web pix claiming to be Heterotheca subaxillaris

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

It does look like a Heterotheca, but I suspect it is not H. subaxillaris. The pubescence on the phyllaries doesn't look right.
