Solidago velutina is very common at all except upper elevations in the Gila National Forest. The leaves are
lanceolate and puberulent on both surfaces. The stem is also whitish pubescent. There are usually three conspicuous veins on the narrow leaves. The leaves
are usually longer and thinner than those of Solidago wrighti. Solidago missouriensis is glabrous.
