Solidago correllii, commonly known as the Guadalupe Mountains goldenrod, is a relatively recently described species of goldenrod found in the Guadalupe Mountains of Texas and New Mexico. Guadalupe Mountains goldenrod was once thought to be a subspecies of Solidago wrightii, which it is similar in appearance to, but recent genetic and morphological evidence has led to its recognition as a unique species.[1]

Distribution and habitat[edit]

Guadalupe Mountains goldenrod is only found in the Guadalupe Mountains in Chaves County, New Mexico, Eddy County, New Mexico, and Culberson County, Texas at elevations of 4,300–7,100 ft (1,300–2,200 m).[2]
