| Identification | Our species of flat-topped goldenrods can be told from other goldenrods (genus Solidago) by their generally flat-topped inflorescences and by their slender stem leaves that tend to be all about the same size on a given plant. This species grows 2-3.5 feet tall and has leaves with 3-5 obvious main veins and is the only Euthamia in the NC mountains. | |
| Taxonomic Comments | E. graminifolia differs from E. lanceolata only in supposedly lacking abundant hairs on upper stems and branches. However, intermediate conditions are too numerous to be comfortable with recognizing both graminifolia and lanceolata (the former E. graminifolia var. nuttallii).
