New article, meets the minimum requirement for length. Most of the information seems to come from a single reference, #1, that you have listed as The Nature Conservancy. However, I don't see that name on the pages. Rather, the publisher appears to be NatureServe. Also, in my first reading of the source material, I haven't found mention of hairy-seed goldenrod. Please let me know which reference alludes to that synonym. Also, is there a reason that you didn't include phylum and class? Nice photo, licensing seems fine. I like the hook, too.

- 1. yes, it would be more appropriate to list the "Nature Conservancy" site as NatureServe; TNC isn't really the publisher of the data anymore. Fixed. 2. "hairy-seed goldenrod" comes from USDA. 3. I didn't include phylum and class because I just copied the taxobox off another goldenrod page and didn't fill in what was missing. Thanx. -IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 00:45, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

- It's perfectly normal for plants to have unranked higher taxa. See APG III system: "...the APG have chosen to eschew ranks above order." Choess (talk) 20:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
