Species

More than 20 species names have been created in the genus, most of them now transferred to other genera (Ericameria , Solidago , Gundlachia ). Only one remains, Chrysoma pauciflosculosa (common name woody goldenrod), native to the southeastern United States (Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, North Carolina). [6] Chrysoma pauciflosculosa is a branching, evergreen shrub up to 100 cm (39 in) tall, with resin but no hairs. Flower heads are yellow, in dense, flat-topped arrays of many small heads, sometimes with no ray florets but sometimes with 2 or 3 ray florets, plus 2-5 disc florets. [7]
