'''''Rhus glabra''''' ('''Smooth Sumac''') is a species of [[sumac]] in the family [[Anacardiaceae]], native to [[North America]], from southern [[Quebec]] west to southern [[British Columbia]] in [[Canada]], and south to northern [[Florida]] and [[Arizona]] in the [[United States]] and [[Tamaulipas]] in northeastern [[Mexico]].
One of the easiest shrubs to identify throughout the year (unless mistaken for ''[[Poison_Sumac|Rhus vernix]]'', poison sumac, in the absence of mature fruit) smooth sumac has a spreading, open-growing [[shrub]] growing up to 3 m tall, rarely to 5 m. The [[Leaf|leaves]] are alternate, 30-50 cm long, compound with 11-31 leaflets, each leaflet 5-11 cm long, with a serrated margin. The leaves turn scarlet in the fall. The [[flower]]s are tiny, green, produced in dense erect [[panicle]]s 10-25 cm tall, in the spring, later followed by large panicles of crimson [[berry|berries]] that remain throughout the winter. The buds are small, covered with brown hair and borne on fat, hairless twigs. The bark on older wood is smooth and grey to brown.
