--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>30–200 cm; caudices short, simple, rhizomes long, stoloniform. <b>Stems</b> 1–5(–10), ascending to erect (tall stems sometimes arching), branching proximal to arrays only in damaged stems, glabrous. <b>Leaves</b>: basal subsessile to winged-petiolate, petioles of proximalmost nearly completely sheathing stems, blades oblanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate, 60–600 × 3–20(–50) mm, thick and firm, obtuse to rounded, bases tapering, margins entire or obscurely serrate, glabrous; proximal to distal cauline sessile, ascending to nearly appressed, lanceolate-oblong to linear, 10–30 × 2–4 mm, abruptly reduced proximally, then gradually so distally, margins entire, apices acute, faces glabrous. <b>Heads</b> 15–250, sometimes secund on proximal branches and secund terminus, in linear, narrowly elongate paniculiform to elongate pyramidal-secund or thyrsiform-paniculiform and not secund arrays, sometimes with a few elongate proximal, arching branches. <b>Peduncles</b> slender, 2–10 mm, glabrous or sparsely strigillose; bracteoles linear. <b>Involucres</b> narrowly campanulate, 4–6 mm. <b>Phyllaries</b> in 3–4 series, oblong, unequal, acute to rounded, glabrous. <b>Ray</b> florets 3–7, 1.5–2 × ca. 0.5 mm. <b>Disc</b> florets usually 8–12; corollas 3–5 mm, lobes 1–1.2 mm. <b>Cypselae</b> 1.5–2.5 mm, sparsely to moderately strigose; pappi 3 mm.</span><!--

--><p><i>Solidago</i> chrysopsis is interpreted here as just a diminutive form of <i>S. stricta</i> growing in the Florida Keys. <i>Solidago stricta</i> may hybridize with <i>S. sempervirens</i> in locations near salt marshes. <i>Solidago</i> flavovirens, from brackish marshes near Apalachicola, may be this species, or perhaps a hybrid with <i>S. sempervirens</i>.</p>
