Top Specialty Expressions: Goldenrod Expressions Domain Definition Velvety goldenrod Aerospace Velvety goldenrod is a native herb found in the southern prairie provinces. This plant was fed experimentally to sheep, killing them. The corrosive resins have caused weight loss in calves, sheep, and small laboratory animals. The toxin has not been determined. In the United States, some other goldenrods (Solidago spp.) were shown to be poisonous. The presence of a fungal rust on the plants was implicated in the poisoning (Beath et al. 1953, Kingsbury 1964). Administering small amounts of the resin to calves caused a loss of body weight. The same resin given to small laboratory animals caused severe weight loss (Beath et al. 1953). Doses of 0.45 kg of partly dried plant material given 4 h apart caused death in 12 h. Symptoms included nausea, vomiting, distress, and accelerated respiration. Small amounts of the corrosive resin caused a loss of body weight (Beath et al. 1953). General symptoms of poisoning: 1- Cattle: weight loss; and 2- Sheep: a- breathing, rapid; b- death; c- nausea; and d- vomiting.

Top Extended Definition: Goldenrod Goldenrod Goldenrod Inflorescences of Solidago virgaurea minuta Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Division: Magnoliophyta Class: Magnoliopsida Order: Asterales Family: Asteraceae Tribe: Astereae Genus: Solidago L. Species See text. The goldenrod is a yellow flowering plant in the Family Asteraceae. Description About 100[1] perennial species make up the genus Solidago, most being found in the meadows and pastures, along roads, ditches and waste areas in North America. There are a handful of species from each of Mexico, South America, and Eurasia.[1] Some American species have also been introduced into Europe some 250 years ago. Many species are difficult to distinguish. Probably due to their bright, golden yellow flower heads blooming in late summer, the goldenrod is often unfairly blamed for causing hay fever in humans. The pollen causing these allergy problems is mainly produced by Ragweed (Ambrosia sp.), blooming at the same time as the goldenrod, but is wind-pollinated. Goldenrod pollen is too heavy and sticky to be blown far from the flowers, and is thus mainly pollinated by insects. Goldenrods are easily recognized by their golden inflorescence with hundreds of small capitula, but some are spike-like and other have auxiliary racemes. They have slender stems, usually hairless but S. canadensis shows hairs on the upper stem. They can grow to a length between 60 cm and 1.5 m. Their alternate leaves are linear to lanceolate. Their margins are usually finely to sharply serrated. Propagation is by wind-disseminated seed or by underground rhizomes. They form patches that are actually vegetative clones of a single plant. Goldenrod and visitingCerceris wasp Use and cultivation Goldenrod is used as a food plant by the larvae of various Lepidoptera species (see list of Lepidoptera that feed on goldenrods). The invading larva induces the plant to form a bulbous tissue mass (called a gall) around it, upon which the larva then feeds. Various parasitoid wasps find these galls, and lay eggs in the larvae, penetrating the bulb with their ovipositor. Woodpeckers have learned to peck open the galls and eat the insect in the center.[2] Goldenrods can be used for decoration and making tea. Goldenrods are, in some places, held as a sign of good luck or good fortune[citation needed]; but they are considered weeds by others. Goldenrods are mostly short-day plants and bloom in late summer and early fall and some species produce abundant nectar when moisture is plentiful before bloom, and the bloom period is relatively warm and sunny. Honey from goldenrods often is dark and strong due to admixtures of other nectars. However when there is a strong honey flow, a light (often water white), spicy-tasting honey is produced. While the bees are ripening the honey there is a rank odor and taste, but finished honey is much milder. Garden use British gardeners adopted goldenrod long before Americans. Goldenrod only began to gain some acceptance in American gardening (other than wildflower gardening) during the 1980s. A hybrid with aster, known as x Solidaster is less unruly, with pale yellow flowers, equally suitable for dried arrangements. Solidago canadensis was introduced as a garden plant in Central Europe, and is now common in the wild. In Germany, it is considered an invasive species that displaces native vegetation from its natural habitat. Goldenrod is a companion plant, playing host to some beneficial insects, and repelling some pests.[citation needed] Canadian Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) Industrial use Inventor Thomas Edison experimented with goldenrod to produce rubber, which it contains naturally.[3] Edison created a fertilization and cultivation process to maximize the rubber content in each plant. His experiments produced a 12 foot tall plant that yielded as much as 12 percent rubber. The rubber produced through Edison's process was resilient and long lasting. The tires on the Model T given to him by his friend Henry Ford were made from goldenrod. Examples of the rubber can still be found in his laboratory, elastic and rot free after more than 50 years. However, even though Edison turned his research over to the U.S. government a year before his death, goldenrod rubber never went beyond the experimental stage. Medicinal use The variety Solidago virgaurea is used as a traditional kidney tonic.[4] It is used by practitioners of herbal medicine as an agent to counter inflammation and irritation of the kidneys when bacterial infection or stones are present.[5] Goldenrod has also been used as part of a tincture to aid in cleansing of the kidney/bladder during a healing fast, in conjunction with Potassium broth and specific juices.[5] 'Solidago odora' is also sold as a medicinal, for these issues: mucus, kidney/bladder cleansing and stones, colds, digestion. Cultural significance The goldenrod is the state flower of the U.S. states of Kentucky (adopted March 16, 1926) and Nebraska (adopted April 4, 1895). It used to be the state flower of Alabama, being adopted as such on September 6, 1927, but was later rejected in favour of the camellia. Goldenrod was recently named the state wildflower for South Carolina. In Midwestern states in the mid-twentieth century it was said that when the goldenrod bloomed, it would soon be time to go back to school--the blossoms appeared in mid- to late August, shortly before the traditional start of school on the day after Labor Day.[6] In Sufjan Stevens' song, Casimir Pulaski Day, the narrator brings goldenrod to his girlfriend upon finding out that she has been diagnosed with bone cancer. Carrie Hamby's song, Solidago, tells the story of Thomas Edison's experiments with making goldenrod a domestic source of rubber that ended with the invention of synthetic rubber during WWII. The Sweet Goldenrod (Solidago odora) is also the state herb of Delaware as of June 24, 1996. [7] Species Goldenrods in rural Indiana. Solidago albopilosa E.L.

In fact, the trumpet vine was assigned by the United States War Department as the official symbol for the Kentucky militia. Things began to change around 1921 when the Kentucky Federation of Women's Clubs began to promote goldenrod as an appropriate floral representative of the Bluegrass State. It was argued that goldenrod grew all across the state and had even been adopted as an element of the Kentucky State Flag in 1918! The War Department argued for the official designation of the trumpet vine because of its association with the state militia and because they had already assigned goldenrod to California. The people of Kentucky were not impressed with the arguments of the War Department and on March 16, 1926 a Senate Resolution naming goldenrod as the official state flower was adopted. According to George Earlie Shankle, Ph.D., "The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky selected the goldenrod [probably Solidago patula] as the official State flower, sometime in March, 1926, the exact date of the adoption not being given in the acts. The resolution of the Senate, the House concurring was neither approved nor disapproved. The goldenrod is on of the most common and widespread of American wild flowers." Shankle speculates that it the variety of goldenrod intended as the state flower was "probably Solidago patula" but the web site of Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives names Solidago gigantea as the state flower. The statute (KRS 2.090) does not indicate a particular variety of goldenrod. About 30 varieties of goldenrod grow in Kentucky. Attempts were made to replace goldenrod a few years later, criticizing it as a common weed that grew in most of the states. Proponents of the restoration of the bluegrass flower as the state flower were successful in the Kentucky House but met defeat in the Senate In the late 40s and early 50s the goldenrod's position as state flower was threatened by the dogwood blossom and the redbud. The redbud was approved in the House but defeated in the Senate in 1953. Two other states have adopted goldenrod as state flowers: Nebraska as their official floral emblem in 1895. South Carolina as their official state wildflower in 2003. The Kentucky Revised Statutes The following information is excerpted from the Kentucky Revised Statutes, Title 1, Chapter 2, Section 2.090.
