Sassafras

Hi! Please consider adding this spotting to the mission Ohio Plants! http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/38420048

Some interesting tidbits about this tree: All parts of the plants are very fragrant. The species are unusual in having three distinct leaf patterns on the same plant, unlobed oval, bilobed (mitten-shaped), and trilobed (three pronged); rarely the leaves can be five-lobed. :)
