Making winter iNaturalist observations

Happy Friday TNBRC (Tribal Nations Botanical Research Collaborative) members!

During the winter, your iNaturalist activity may drop off, but there are still cool plants out there to observe! Last weekend, I visited the Sedona area and Rhus ovata was in flower! Rhus ovata, or sugar bush, is related to lemonade berry (Rhus trilobata) and, like lemonade berry, produces edible berries. According to information about this species provided by iNaturalist, Rhus ovata has been used to treat respiratory viruses and ease childbirth. Stay warm & happy winter iNaturalisting!
