Description
Glabrous perennial herb. Inflorescences spiciform to subracemiform, heads often with long peduncles, phyllaries imbricate, ray flowers often 8, disk flowers often 13. Basal leaves narrowly spatulate to nearly orbiculate, cauline leaves reduced upwards and not very many. [2][3]
Compared to Solidago missourensis and S. canadensis,the leaves are almost entirely basal and wider, and plant is generally shorter.
Bloom Period
June- September
Distribution
Cascades from northern Washington to Central Oregon, Puget Trough, Rocky Mountains south to Arizona, and New Mexico, Great Lakes.[2]
Habitat
Grasslands, prairies, open forest, shorelines, lowland to alpine.
Uses
First Nations
Reference to Nlaka'pamux people using the decoction of S. simplex as a tonic to restore appetite, and a poultice of the powdered leaves as a compress for mumps.[4]
Ecology and Wildlife
Solidago species provide important nectar and pollen sources for bees in late summer.
Gregory L. Tilford writes that the species within the Solidago genus may be used more or less interchangeably. He writes the greens can be eaten a cooked potherb, with variable palatibility, and the flowers make a nice sweetened tea. Dried leaves and flowers may be used as a styptic agent, and an infusion to reduce mucus production in the bronchi during a cold or flu. The tea is diuretic and regarded by him as a kidney tonic.[5]
