Description

Solidago gracillima is a dioecious perennial forb/herb.[2] It has large inflorescences that are very open and have few long branches and smaller compact inflorescence without elongated lower branches.[3]

Distribution

This species is found from east Virginia, south to the central Florida panhandle, westward to south Alabama, and inland to Kentucky.[1][2]

Ecology

S. gracillima is found in wet pine savannas, pine-oak woodlands, pine forests, sandy furrows, turkey oak sand ridges, wooded bluffs along creeks, longleaf pine-wiregrass, pine flatwoods, and seepage bogs.[1][4] It is also found in disturbed areas like longleaf pine restoration sites.[4]

Associated species: S. odora, S. arguta, Pityopsis aspera, Liatris gracilis, Calamintha dentata, and Symphyotrichum.[4]

Phenology

S. gracillima has been observed to flower August through November.[1][5]
