Solidago juncea Aiton Early goldenrod
Early goldenrods are natives of North America. For a comparison chart of some of the varieties of goldenrods, see Solidago. Identification: Plants are up to 18-48" (45-121 cm) high. The main stem is stiff (the species juncea means "stiff like a rush"), hairless and green or reddish, with small vertical ridges. Leaves at base are sharply serrated, but leaves on the upper half of the stem usually lack serrations. They are alternate, up to 8" (20 cm) × 1½" (3.8 cm) at the base, lance-shaped ("lanceolate") or ovate or somewhere in between, and hairless or with tiny hairs just along the margins. Leaves have a single prominent vein, rather than the three parallel veins present in some goldenrods. Flowerheads bend to the left and right, branching heavily. They bloom from June to September. Individual flowers are less than ¼" (6.3 mm) around, with 7-12 rays. Edibility: Not edible. Online References:
