  • Question

    Hello again this was found very close to the last specimen i asked about. Along wooded area near a beach in the cape in eastham MA.

    Answer

    Dear NRC212Ferreira, this appears to be a seedling of Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust). The pinnately compound leaves with a pair of stipular spines at the base and entire leaflets are good diagnostic characters. It is native to North America but introduced in New England.
