See this growing in dense groups under shaded areas with good soil. It has thin 1cm long hairs growing on its round stem.

Edit: I stand corrected: Should be a Jerusalem artichoke.

I have never seen a gerbera with leaves on it stem....the ones in this part of the world are not native though...they grow from a cluter of leaves and have a clean straight stem with no leaves......Is this plant a jerusalem artichoke? is is really tall and have multiple blooms on a stem?

Looks a lot like Calendula: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Calendula_January_2008-1_filtered.jpg

Sometimes the answer is not to cross an old bridge, nor to burn it, but to build a better bridge.

Can you link to the source where you found this Oxeye? I have found that exact plant that you picture growing somewhere near me. I looked around wiki and this is the closest i found and doesn't seem an exact match:

What kind of medicinal use do you notice that it has?

It's a Rudbeckia laciniata, which I think has a common name like a green coneflower. I've got many of them. They grow into fairly deep shade, self seed moderately, are a long lived perennial, transplant easily and are quite pretty, IMHO.

Rudebeckia's are close relatives of echinacea. Some, I'm not sure if this one, were used by Michael Moore as a feebler echinacea type medicine. Considering it's much more common than echinacea, it would seem to bear more study.
