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]
