Pronunciation: [ɡˈə͡ʊldən ˈa͡ɪ͡ənwiːd] (IPA) 
Golden ironweed, also known by its scientific name Vernonia lettermannii, is a stunning perennial plant native to the central United States. This vibrant wildflower produces beautiful clusters of bright yellow flowers atop sturdy, upright stems that can reach heights of up to five feet. While "golden ironweed" is the most common name for this plant, it is also sometimes referred to as "smooth-leaf ironweed" due to the plant's lack of hairiness on its leaves and stem. Additionally, it is sometimes called "slender ironweed" or "narrow-leaf ironweed" due to the relatively narrow shape of its leaves compared to other ironweeds. Regardless of the name, this plant is sure to add a pop of color to any garden or natural setting.
