Abstract
During the summer of 1930 an unusual variant race of Solidago rigida L. was collected in Newton county, Indiana. This variant was transplanted to the Botanical Garden of Butler University where it has grown since, showing no tendency toward return to the characteristic form of the normal S. rigida plants growing in the same plot beside it. The most notable distinctions of this variant are: the larger size, being about twice as high, with larger leaves and flowers; the upper cauline leaves being ovate, obtuse and sessile, with an unequally cordate base; and the later time of blooming, which seems to be due not so much to later initiation as to slower development and maturation of flowers.
