Solidago arenicola is a rare species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common names sand goldenrod[2] and southern racemose goldenrod. It has been found only in the States of Tennessee and Alabama in the United States.[3] It is endemic to riverside scour areas, where it is often locally abundant.[4]
Solidago arenicola is a perennial herb up to 80 cm (32 inches) tall, with a woody underground rhizome. Leaves are up to 15 cm (8 inches) long, mostly on the lower part of the stem. One plant can produce up to 50 yellow flower heads on the upper branches.[5][6]
