Incorrect name of plant?

in Plants
Via online chat I was given the name of a yellow flowering plant (typed up so I have not misheard), but on searching online the second part of the name did not come up. The name given initially was Helicanthus goutax. I went back to the person and they gave me Helianthus ...........but no second part of the name this time!. Got to the pulling teeth stage now. I will assume it is a type of Helianthus but what could the second name be, -something sounding like Goutax

Apparently it is a perennial.
