  Goldenrod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
About 80 perennial species make up the genus Solidago, most being found in the meadows and pastures, along roads, ditches and waste areas in North America, and a few from Europe that were introduced some 250 years ago.
Probably due to their bright, golden yellow flower heads blooming in late summer, the goldenrod is often unfairly blamed for causing hay fever in humans.
Solidago canadensis was introduced as a garden plant in Central Europe, and is now common in the wild.

Solidago in the Southern Rockies is beset with influences from the Great Plains, Mexico, and the Northern Rockies.
In studying all the Solidago in the herbaria at UNM, COLO, and Randall Davey Audubon Society, I have become convinced that careful attention to phyllary shape and orientation can be of great assistance in identifying the species.
Features traditionally used to distinguish the species in Solidago are panicle type (open panicle with secund branches versus thyrse), stem and leaf pubescence, and leaf venation (1 or 3 prominent veins).
