 Pine Barrens. — Forked River, Cedar Brook, Malaga, Landisville (T), Egg 

 Harbor City, Absecon, Dennisville (S).

Solidago erecta Pursh. Slender Goldenrod. 



Solidago erecta Pursh., Fl. Am. Sept. 542. 1814 [North America]. — Keller 



and Brown 323. 

 Solidago speciosa var. angustata Britton 133. 



Frequent in the Pine Barrens and Cape May peninsula, rare 

 and local in the Middle district. 



This species has been very generally confused with S. hispida 

 Muhl (=S. hicolor var. concolor T. and G.) and the records given 

 for that species in the several lists of southern New Jersey plants 

 really refer to this, as shown by many of the actual specimens 

 upon which the records were based. S. hispida does not occur 

 within our limits so far as I have been able to ascertain. 



Solidago erecta is often associated with and resembles in gen- 

 eral way S. puberula, but can readily be distinguished by the 

 blunt bracts of the involucre, which contrast with the acute bracts 

 of the latter species.
