Andrea B. Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Blum, A.G. (2017) Solidago juncea Ait.1789 (Asteraceae) Early Goldenrod. Flowers photographed in ultraviolet and visible light. http://www.ultravioletphotography.com/content/index.php/topic/2090-solidago-juncea-early-goldenrod/#entry14779 Shore Cottage, Southwest Harbor, Maine, USA03 August 2016Wildflower Synonyms:Solidago juncea var. neobohemica Fern.Solidago juncea var. ramosa Porter & Britt.Comment:These tiny individual Goldenrod composites have disk flowers which are more UV-dark than the outer UV-bright rays. The rays exhibit darker veining in both the visible and UV photographs. The composite flowers grow only on one side of the stems. The tall, plumy plant does bloom earlier than the other Goldenrods on Mount Desert Island. Hairless stems and unsheathed leaves help identify this species. Bees, wasps, beetles, flies and butterflies all love this Goldenrod. Reference:1. New England Wild Flower Society (2016) Solidago juncea.
