Rhus typhina, Linn. (R. hirta, Sudw. Schmaltzia hirta, Small).
Staghorn Sumac. Fig. 3398. Shrub or tree, to 30 ft.: branchlets
densely velvety-hairy: lfts. 11-31, oblong-lanceolate, pointed,
serrate, glaucescent beneath, 2-5 in. long: fls. greenish, in dense
terminal panicles: fr. crimson, hairy. June, July; fr. Aug., Sept. Em.
571. s.S.3:102,103. Gn. 54, p. 505. G.F. 2:343 (adapted in Fig. 3398).
Que. to Ont., south to Ga., Ind., and Iowa. Var. laciniata, Wood.
Lfts. and bracts deeply and laciniately toothed and the infl.
sometimes partly transformed into contorted bracts. Var. dissecta,
Rehd. (var. laciniata, Hort.). Fig. 3399. Lfts. pinnately dissected.
M.D.G. 1900:211. G.M. 53:827. R.H. 1907, pp. 10, 11. A very handsome
form with finely cut foliage. R. typhina filicina, Sprenger, is
probably not different.—The staghorn sumac grows in the driest soils
and is a very desirable plant on account of its brilliant fall
coloring, which in dry localities begins to show in Aug., and with its
crimson fr.-clusters persisting through the winter. Trained in tree
form it is very picturesque, but is short-lived.
