Saturday.
Still somewhat rainy,—since last evening.
Solidago arguta variety done, say a week or more.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, September 19, 1857
Solidago arguta variety done. . . See August 21, 1856 ("the prevailing solidagos now are,. . .the three-ribbed, of apparently several varieties, which I have called arguta or gigantea (apparently truly the last)"); September 6, 1856 ("Solidago arguta very common, apparently in prime"): September 15, 1856 ("Early Solidago stricta (that is, arguta) done "); .September 11, 1857 ("My old S. stricta (early form) must be S. Arguta var. juncea.");
Solidago arguta in old usage, or (misapplied) solidago stricta, is solidago juncea (early goldenrod) ~Vascular Flora of Concord, Massachusetts
