• Question

  I just came across this observation (not my own, apologies if this is not the spirit of the website) of what I think might be a county record of Solidago squarrosa in Barnstable County, MA on iNaturalist. But I'm unsure of the ID; particularly whether the recurved phyllaries are really recurved enough to rule out other species. Anyway, I thought I'd share it here just in case it's a population of conservation interest at this location. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/15435348

  Answer

  Dear ddennism, thank you for alerting me to this record. The plants do look like Solidago squarrosa to my eye--hard to imagine what else they could be. I will make the edit in Go Botany to reflect this discovery. Best wishes.
