Rhus michauxii
Also called Michaux's sumac
Rhus michauxii is a rare species of flowering plant in the cashew family known by the common names false poison sumac and Michaux's sumac. It is endemic to the southeastern United States, where it can be found in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It is threatened by the loss and degradation of its habitat and by barriers to reproduction. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.
This plant is a small shrub growing 30 to 60 centimetres (12 to 24 in) tall. It is very hairy in texture. The small size and hairiness distinguish the plant from other sumacs. The long leaves are each made up of several pairs of toothed leaflets. The plant is dioecious with male and female reproductive parts occurring on separate plants.
