Solidago racemosa E.L. Greene. Common name: Sticky Goldenrod. Phenology: Aug-Sep. Habitat: Rocky, flood-scoured riversides. Distribution: ME and QC south to n. VA and WV; plants in the Cumberland Plateau of KY and ne. TN (Churchill & Schell 1992; Chester, Wofford, & Kral 1997) previously attributed to S. racemosa appear to be a mix of true S. racemosa and a population perhaps best considered either as a disjunct and somewhat morphologically disparate part of the newly named S. arenicola or as a new taxon (Floden 2012).
Origin/Endemic status: Native
