Rhus aromatica (also known as Fragrant Sumac) is a plant species in the family Anacardiaceae native to Canada and the United States.
Fragrant sumac is a woody plant that can grow to around 2 meters tall. It produces yellow flowers in clusters before anthesis. Hairy red drupes are produced, which can be brewed into a tea.
The leaves and stems of fragrant sumac have a citrus fragrance when crushed, and it inhabits mostly uplands areas, while poison ivy has no odor and can inhabit various habitats.
