Solidago spathulata, the coast goldenrod[2] or dune goldenrod,[3] is a North American species of goldenrod in the sunflower family. It is native to the Pacific Coastal regions of the United States, in the states of Oregon and California.[4][3]

Solidago spathulata is perennial herb up to 50 cm (20 inches) tall with a branching underground caudex. One plant can produce as many as 100 small yellow flower heads in a branching array. The species grows on coastal sand dunes and on hillsides overlooking the Pacific.[2]
