Solidago capulinensis, known as the Capulin goldenrod is a rare plant endemic to Capulin Volcano National Monument and Las Animas County, Colorado and was first described and collected in 1936 by Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell and Darwin Maxson Andrews.[1]
The species was cultivated as an ornamental from the 1930's until the 1970's, but not found in the wild since the initial collection. As botanists only knew the plant from a single collected specimen, it was not included in any subsequent account of the New Mexico or United States flora.[1] Academic interest in the species came after it was rediscovered lining a walkway at the Pueblo Colorado Nature Center in Pueblo, Colorado,[2] which prompted a new survey within Capulin Volcano National Monument. Capulin goldenrod was subsequently found growing throughout the monument and re-identified as a rare endemic plant. It is the only known rare vascular plant species in the monument.[1]
