Notes
Flora of North America recognizes three subspecies of S. rigida, all native to the U.S. Subspecies glabrata and rigida are found primarily in the eastern U.S. Subspecies humilis is native to Colorado and the eastern U.S.
Plants in the genus Solidago are important larval and adult food hosts for many of our native invertebrates.
