Closely related to Solidago canadensis, this species is occasionally considered as a subspecies of that one. Distinguishing these species can be difficult, owing in part to considerable variability between different varieties of S. canadensis.

Numerous other Solidago occur in the range of this one, often even in the same habitats.
