--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>loosely clustered, 10–50 (–70) cm; rhizomes creeping. <b>Stems</b> 1 (at ends of rhizomes), ascending to erect, grayish green, moderately to densely finely strigilloso-puberulent. <b>Leaves</b>: basal and proximal often withering by flowering, gradually tapering to winged petioles 1/2 length of leaf, blades 45–100 × 10–35 mm, proximalmost much smaller, margins serrate, faces moderately finely scabroso-strigillose; mid and distal cauline sessile, blades elliptic to lanceolate or ovate, 10–60 × 4–20 mm, sometimes much reduced distally, firm, thickish, margins serrate to entire, strongly 3-nerved or sometimes brochidodromous, faces moderately finely strigillose. <b>Heads</b> (5–)50–300, in compact thyrsiform to secund-pyramidal paniculiform arrays, proximal branches ascending, sometimes apically recurved or branches spreading, recurved, secund. <b>Peduncles</b> 0.5–3 mm, moderately to densely finely hispiduloso-strigillose; bracteoles 0–3, lanceolate, strigillose, grading into phyllaries. <b>Involucres</b> campanulate, 3–6 mm. <b>Phyllaries</b> in 3–4 series, lanceolate to oblong (to 1.5 mm wide), strongly unequal, margins ciliate, apices acute to obtuse, glabrous. <b>Ray</b> florets 6–10; laminae 1–2 × 0.2–0.6 mm. <b>Disc</b> florets 3–8; corollas 2.4–3.8 mm, lobes 0.7–1.2 mm. <b>Cypselae</b> (cylindro-obconic) 1.5–2 mm, sparsely strigillose; pappi ca. 2–3 mm. <b>2n</b> = 18, 36, 54.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Solidago mollis</i> is quite variable in array shape, which ranges from compact club-shaped to elongate pyramid-shaped, the apex leaning to one side. Plants with narrower, more sparsely strigose leaves that are similar in appearance to those of <i>S. radula</i> but are not scabrous have been treated as <i></i></i>var.<i><i> angustata</i> Shinners. Those occur in Oklahoma and Texas. G. L. Nesom (1993b) discussed the possible conspecificity of <i>S. mollis</i> and <i>S. velutina</i> (including S. sparsiflora and <i>S. californica</i>); this does not appear to be justified based on morphology and habitat differences.</p>
