The botanical name "alpine goldenrod" for SLO does not exist, it can however be a local name.
In SLO we have common goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea subsp. virgaurea) and another subspecies mountain goldenrod (Solidago virgaurea subsp. minuta).
For the latter, there are also synonyms such as Solidago virgaurea subsp. alpestris, Solidago alpestris, ........., which has a very rare racemose inflorescence along the shoot.
In the photograph, however, based on the lushness of the inflorescence, it is most likely common goldenrod.
YES FOREIGN LITERATURE north of the KARAVANKS often plays tricks.

Hello,@jojoj!
I'm glad that someone else chimes in on our page and comments something, and ultimately teaches us something.
Thanks for the explanation and clarification.

Good evening!
I am also glad for any comments, especially professional ones.
Yes, the subspecies alpestris can unintentionally be "translated" into alpine and not correctly into mountain. Greater accuracy will be needed-))).
Unfortunately, we also encounter alien species in Slovenia (S. gigantea, S.canadensis.)

And they are also invasive. but in appearance - habitus quite different from the autochthonous common goldenrod. and they run wild only in lower areas.
Detail by which they are easy to distinguish: giant goldenrod S. gigantea has a bare stem, Canadian goldenrod S. canadensis, has a densely hairy stem.
Well, there are also smaller differences in the flowers, almost unnoticeable to my eyes, I need a magnifying glass, the younger ones probably could already notice the difference with the naked eye. In S. gigantea the ray flowers are longer than the involucre, in S. canadensis almost equally long or slightly longer than the involucre. etc...
If they were not so invasive (in the vicinity of Ljubljana they even confuse them with ragweed!) I would say that they have increased the biotic diversity of Slovenian flora.

This substitution seems "interesting" to me. Wormwood-leaved ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) is also confused by some "quasi-experts" with wormwood. or vice versa.
The mentioned goldenrods are a joy to beekeepers, although they really run wild too much and in many places displace our vegetation.

I wouldn't dare claim from this photo that it's the common goldenrod, which actually appears in 18 subspecies. I don't know how many actually grow in our area. The common one is 20-80 cm tall, while the mountain one is shorter - 6 to 40 cm tall. We distinguish by the size of the leaves along the stem - in the mountain one they are larger and by the inflorescence, which in the common one is more conical at the top, while in the mountain one it is more rounded, I'd say.
