'''''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 edible 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.

Rhus glabra, Linn. (Schmaltzia glabra, Small). Smooth Sumac. Shrub, to 15 ft. with glabrous and glaucous branches: lfts. 11-31. lanceolate-oblong, pointed, serrate, glaucous beneath, 2-5 in. long: fls. green, in dense panicles, to 10 in. long: fr. scarlet, viscid-pubescent. July; fr. in Aug., Sept. Var. laciniata, Carr. Lfts. pinnately dissected. This variety with its deeply and finely cut lvs. is very handsome; it is tenderer than the cut-lvd. form of the preceding species and does not grow so high.
