Solidago ptarmicoides, the white flat-top goldenrod or upland white aster, native to the central and northeastern parts of the United States, as well as central Canada and Québec. ^[4][1]

Solidago ptarmicoides is distinctive within the genus in having white to cream-colored flowers, in heads arranged in a flat-topped corymb rather than in an elongated raceme. Leaves are narrow and linear, often rather stiff. It prefers dry, sandy soils and grassy meadows.^[1]
