[edit] This is not a ruse

The two photographs that I placed onto the page may be Rhus glabra. Those photographs are of the same group of plants, taken months apart. The photographs may be moved to the Rhus glabra page soon.Velocicaptor 20:50, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved the photographs

Rhus glabra is the proper page for the photographs. I examined the seeds and concluded that the plants are not Rhus typhina.Velocicaptor 22:21, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

I erroneously concluded that they were Rhus glabra seeds. The plants are Rhus typhina plants.

[edit] Explanations from Handbook Number 450

Ripening drupes of Rhus typhina on June 11, 2007

United States Department of Agriculture Handbook No. 450 relates that the fruit of Rhus typhina begins to ripen in June.

Table No. 2 from Handbook Number 450

Conversely, the fruit of Rhus glabra ripens in autumn. I will follow the explanations contained in Handbook Number 450 whenever I edit either page.

Time is of the essence. In the future, my edits may appear sporadically. I will be hesitant and careful.

Rhus glabra plants seem to be scarce, here. I may have been observing undersized Rhus typhina plants. They produce flowers when they are young, short, small and thin.
