Canada Goldenrod
Solidago canadensisÌý±¹²¹°ù.Ìýcanadensis is distinguished by having mid to upper stems glabrous or sparsely hairy; stems in the inflorescence are hairy (). The variety occurs in old fields, pastures, disturbed ground, roadsides and open woods from southeastern Manitoba to Nova Scotia south to Iowa and Virginia. Specimens reported from Newfoundland are narrow-leaved forms of S. bartramiana. This variety is offered in the horticulture industry and potentially could escape from gardens well outside the range of the species.
