Solidago spathulata, the coast goldenrod [2] or dune goldenrod, [3] is a North American species of goldenrod in the family Asteraceae.
Solidago spathulata is perennial herb up to 80 centimetres (31 in) tall [4] with a branching underground caudex. One plant can produce a branching array of as many as 100 yellow flower heads, [2] each about 6 millimetres (1⁄4 in) across and with about 8 rays. [4]
It resembles S. multiradiata , which replaces it in montane regions and has bristles on its leaf stalks. [4]
It is native to the Pacific Coastal regions of the United States, in the states of Oregon and California. [5] [3] It grows on coastal sand dunes and hillsides. [2]
