Our only specimens of this species were collected by Ray C. Friesner on a clayey wooded ridge west of Centerton, Morgan County and in a similar habitat in Brown County. Friesner has had this form under cultivation in the Butler University botanical garden and his study of the plant convinces him that it is a hybrid of Solidago sphacelata Raf. and Solidago ulmifolia Muhl. I quite agree with him on the status of the plant.
