Slender goldentop is a native North American perennial in the daisy family, a goldenrod-like herb of open, sandy habitats. It grows best in full sun in well-drained soil, and it is a rare species of conservation concern in parts of its range.
Euthamia caroliniana, known as Carolina grass-leaved goldenrod or slender goldentop is a flowering plant in the genus Euthamia, a member of the family Asteraceae. It is listed as Vulnerable due to habitat loss and disturbance within its range.
Euthamia caroliniana is found primarily on the Atlantic Coastal Plain between Nova Scotia and eastern Texas. It also has populations in the Great Lakes region and around Lake Champlain.
