As previously said, the photo shows Stag's-horn Sumach (Rhus typhina). I wouldn't be too critical, it can look rather confusing especially early in the season. |

If you see one of these and you've absolutely no idea what it is, I can understand someone perhaps going down the teasel route.
When faced with a plant you can't even ID to family level, it's not easy knowing where to start - especially if you aren't very experienced. I certainly wouldn't consider myself an expert, but if I find one I don't immediately recognise I can usually at least come up with something it's similar to. In a few weeks time, though, I'm headed for the Scilly Isles, where I'm likely to encounter a whole set of alien species from Southern Hemisphere genera I've not previously experienced.
Will I perhaps suspect some kind of Australian wattle sapling as a meadow-rue, say? Who knows... | | | |
