Question
Hi, I am trying to id the attached small woody plant. The red venation of the leaves seems unique and is not familiar to me. This plant is in the Gill Town Forest, and the photo is from a couple days ago. Several twigs had been trimmed, presumably munched. I could not get the id with the gobotany process. Thanks for your help. Nora
Answer
Dear nhanke, I can't confidently identify the plant from the photograph that has been provided. The opposite leaves and crenate teeth could place this as a species of Viburnum (such as Viburn nudum [with-rod or wild raisin]). I would need to see details of winter buds and leaf scars on the branchlet to confirm this. Best wishes.
