Solidago brachyphylla is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Dixie goldenrod. [2] It is native to the southeastern United States, from southern Mississippi to the Carolinas. [3] [4]

Solidago brachyphylla is a perennial herb up to 120 cm (4 feet) tall, with a thick underground rhizome. One plant can produce as many as 200 small yellow flower heads in a branched array at the top of the plant. [4]

It can be found in habitats such as oak-pine-hickory uplands, in xeric oak woodlands, and scrub courses. [5]
