Solidago, commonly called goldenrods, is a genus of about 100 to 120 species of flowering plants in the aster family.

Solidago derives its name from the Latin words solido, which means “to strengthen or make whole,” and ago, which means “to make.” The name refers to the medicinal properties attributed to the flower.
