Sign in to saveAlso known as the goldenrods, goldenrod
Solidago, commonly called goldenrod, is a genus of about 100 to 120 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Most are herbaceous perennial species found in open areas such as meadows, prairies, and savannas. They are mostly native to North America, including Mexico; a few species are native to South America and Eurasia. Some American species have also been introduced into Europe and other parts of the world.
OverviewAI-generated
Solidago is a genus within the family Asteraceae, classified under the order Asterales and class Magnoliopsida. It belongs to the phylum Tracheophyta in the kingdom Plantae. The scientific name is listed as Solidago L., with the authority Mill. also noted. The genus has the common name lancetta.
The species has been introduced to various locations, including Borneo, Colombia, Cook Is., Fiji, Hainan, Hawaii, India, Jawa, Leeward Is., Lesser Sunda Is., Madeira, and Malaya. Records from iDigBio indicate presence in Canada, the United States, and Mexico, with collections held by institutions such as the University of Alberta Museums, BRIT, NY, FCB-BUAP, and INECOL. The genus has a status of unassessed according to WoRMS.

Solidago, commonly called goldenrod, is a genus of about 100 to 120 species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. Most are herbaceous perennial species found in open areas such as meadows, prairies, and savannas. They are mostly native to North America, including Mexico; a few species are native to South America and Eurasia. Some American species have also been introduced into Europe and other parts of the world.
==Description== thumb|left|European goldenrod is pollinated by [[Bombus cryptarum]] Solidago species are perennials growing from woody caudices or rhizomes. Their stems range from decumbent (crawling) to ascending or erect, with a range of heights going from to over a meter. Most species are unbranched, but some do display branching in the upper part of the plant. Both leaves and stems vary from glabrous (hairless) to various forms of pubescence (strigose, strigillose, hispid, stipitate-glandular or villous). In some species, the basal leaves are shed before flowering. The leaf margins are most commonly entire, but often display heavier serration. Some leaves may display trinerved venation rather than the pinnate venation usual across Asteraceae.
