Species

See text.

Goldenrods are any of the about 150 species of weedy herbs that make up the genus Solidago. Handling the goldenrod many times can make some people have allergies. Because of this, some florists change their jobs.[1] Parts of goldenrods are eaten by humans.[2] They are also eaten by many species of Lepidoptera.
