ANSWER PREVIEW

The flora photograph shows giant goldenrod captured at the campus of Benedictine University on Tuesday, October 12th. The giant goldenrod is under the Asteraceae family, which includes flora like the sunflowers (Integrated Taxonomic Information System [ITIS], 2021). An outstanding element about the giant goldenrod and sunflower is the yellow-head flowers. Based on research, the Genus name of this plant is the Solidago L, which entails the goldenrod and verges, and the species is Solidago gigantea (ITIS, 2021). From observation, the giant goldenrod is a wild plant with long stems and flowers sprout at the top, forming a pyramid shape. The stem does not have branches but has leaves positioned alternately with sharp edges. However, the upper stem of this plant holds leaves without sharp edges or teeth on the margins.
