What's this, looks a little coneflower-ish and a little ironweed-ish.
Central Ohio, it's been out for a month, grows very tall sometimes
(say 8 feet), found in sunny roadside waste areas.
It takes the place of goldenrod until the goldenrod comes out.

Oddly it's on a page of Newcomb's wildflower guide that I had examined,
but the illustration he has is so unlike it that I didn't match it over
the years. The question would come up each year.
