Goldenrod

Solidago nemoralis, old field goldenrod
Euthamia graminifolia, grass-leaved goldenrod

Goldenrod is a common name for many species of flowering plants in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, commonly in reference to the genus Solidago.

Several genera, such as Euthamia, were formerly included in a broader concept of the genus Solidago. Some authors treat Oligoneuron, the flat-topped goldenrods, as a separate genus than Solidago,[1] while others consider it a section: Solidago sect. Ptarmicoidei.[2]

Goldenrods can be used as a sustainable method to enrich soil with nitrogen. With an increase of nitrogen levels, there can then be an increase of vegetative growth.[3]

Plants known as goldenrods include:

  • Bigelowia spp., rayless goldenrods, 2 species native to the southeastern United States[4][1]
  • Cuniculotinus gramineus, Panamint rock goldenrod
  • Euthamia spp., flat-topped goldenrods or grass-leaved goldenrods, 5 species native to North America[1][5]
  • Gundlachia triantha, Trans-Pecos desert goldenrod
  • , small-headed heath goldenrod
  • , Texas desert goldenrod
  • Petradoria pumila, rock goldenrod
  • Solidago spp., goldenrods, around 120 species native to the Americas, northern Africa, Europe, Asia[6]
