Solidago azorica is a species of goldenrod in the family Asteraceae, endemic to the Azores, Portugal.[1] It is closely related to Solidago sempervirens, native to eastern North America, but in addition to the morphological differences there is a clear genetic separation between the two species.[2] This species is thought to have evolved from its American relative from a natural introduction made well before human occupation on the islands.[3]
