| Solidago ouachitensis has only been collected four times since it was first collected by G. W. Stevens in 1913. During cooler, moister times this goldenrod species was likely more widespread, but is now restricted to a narrow range within the Ouachita Mountains and is thought to be a relict of the last ice age. This goldenrod is a perennial herb that grows from two to four feet tall, producing yellow flower heads with one ray flower during the months of September and October. The Ouachita goldenrod has leaves with no stalk, the midstem leaves being coarsely toothed and larger than the few basal leaves. (USFS 2002; USFWS 1992)
