Question
I can't identify this plant. Would love some help. In the spring it had tiny yellow flowers at the base of the leaf stem and in groups of 3 or 4. Thanks
Answer
Dear Carolyn, it looks like Lindera benzoin (northern spicebush), a native member of the same plant family that sassafras belongs to. If you bruise/crush a leaf, you should get a very pleasant aroma. Best wishes.
