This member of the Sumac Family (Anacardiaceae), also known as the Lemonade Sumac, can be found in the park and along the lower Clamshell Truck Trail in the Monrovia Wilderness Preserve (MWR), where these photos
were taken. In appearance, this plant closely resembles the Sugar Bush but differs in that the leathery leaves of the Lemonadeberry are flatter
and usually toothed along the edges.
