Question
Hello Arthur. Can you confirm if this is Elliot's Goldenrod? ( In front of Joppa Flats Education Center, Newburyport - taken 9/26/18) If I'm wrong, I'll crop out the name. If right, you are welcome to use any of them. Thanks.
Answer
Dear chaffeemonell, great images. This plant, which I'm not entirely sure because I can't see the basal leaves, can't be Solidago latissimifolia. That species has +/- glabrous stems and leaves, but notice this species has minutely hairy stems and leaves. It could be a very large Solidago nemoralis, but I would need to see the basal leaves and their relative size to the mid-stem leaves to be confident. Best wishes.
