Solidago arguta

Solidago arguta, commonly called Atlantic goldenrod, cut-leaf goldenrod, forest goldenrod, toothed goldenrod, and sharp-leaved goldenrod, is a species of flowering plant native to eastern and central North America. It grows along the Gulf and Atlantic states of the United States from Texas to Maine, inland as far as Ontario, Illinois, and Kansas.

It is primarily found in areas of woodland openings, such as outcrops or clearings. Solidago arguta can be distinguished from similar goldenrods by its combination of dark maroon stems, lightly pubescent to hairless leaves, and broad lower leaves that taper to their base. It produces yellow heads of flowers in late summer and fall.
