northern goldenrod, Rocky Mountain goldenrod

Publication: Hort. Kew. 3: 218. 1789.

Origin: Native

selected vouchers: WTU

Notes: FNA20: "Solidago multiradiata is the North American species most closely related to S. virgaurea, the type species of the genus, native to mostly arctic and alpine regions of Eurasia. Plants of S. multiradiata from the Rocky Mountains have been treated as var. scopulorum; they differ so little from those of other parts of the range that recognition of the variety without further support does not appear justified."
