Family | Scientific Name | Common Name | Habitat | Distribution | Image |
Anacardiaceae | Rhus aromatica var. arenaria | Sand Sumac, Dune Sumac | Sandy woodlands and openings. | N. OH, MI, ne. IN west to IL and e. IA, mainly along the Great Lakes shores. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus aromatica var. aromatica | Fragrant Sumac | Dry to dry-mesic upland forests and woodlands, glade margins, stream banks, bluffs, and pastures, eastwards primarily in rocky, rather dry, woodlands, usually over mafic rocks (such as gabbro or diabase) or calcareous rocks, less commonly in sandy soils. | The species (if interpreted to include Rhus trilobata at varietal rank) ranges throughout much of temperate North America. Var. aromatica is the most eastern component of the complex, distributed from NH, ON, and MN south to Panhandle FL and TX. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus aromatica var. serotina | Midwestern Fragrant Sumac | Dry to dry-mesic upland forests and woodlands, glade margins, and bluffs. | S. WI, IA, and sc. SD south to s. IL, MO, AR, and e. TX. Some populations east of the Mississippi River in TN, KY, and AL may represent this taxon (D. Estes, pers. comm., 2012). | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus aromatica var. trilobata | Skunkbush Sumac | Calcareous woodlands and prairies. | ND, SK, AB, and OR south to IA, sw. AR, se. TX, NM, AZ, CA, and Mexico. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus copallinum var. copallinum | Eastern Winged Sumac, Eastern Flameleaf Sumac | Longleaf pine sandhills, dry woodlands, maritime thickets (especially from VA northward), old fields, roadsides. | S. NY south to s. FL, west to e. TX, mainly on the Coastal Plain and lower Piedmont. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus copallinum var. latifolia | Eastern Winged Sumac | Rocky glades, dry woodlands. | S. ME to WI, south to c. GA, AL, LA, and e. TX. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus glabra | Smooth Sumac | Disturbed areas, clearings, roadsides, woodlands. | ME west to BC, south to Panhandle FL, TX, CA, Mexico (CHH, SON). | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus lanceolata | Prairie Sumac, Prairie Flameleaf Sumac | Open areas, especially on limestone. | Ne. and se. OK, TX Panhandle, and s. NM south to e. TX, s. TX, and Mexico (CHH, COA, NLE, SLP, TAM). | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus michauxii | Michaux's Sumac, Dwarf Sumac | In the fall line sandhills characteristically in submesic, loamy swales, usually associated with such species as Paspalum bifidum, Helianthus divaricatus, Tridens carolinianus, Rhus copallinum, Anthenantia villosa, Gymnopogon spp., and Aristida lanosa; in the eastern Piedmont on sandy soils derived from granite; in the central Piedmont on clayey soils derived from mafic rocks such as gabbro or mafic Carolina slates, probably all of its habitats (formerly) in frequently burned situations. | Rare and scattered (though formerly more common) from sc. VA south to GA; disjunct in Alachua County, FL. Large populations were found in sc. VA (Nottoway and Dinwiddie counties) in frequently burned military artillery "impact areas" on Fort Barfoot (formerly Fort Pickett) (Fleming & Ludwig 1996). | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus microphylla | Desert Sumac, Scrub Sumac | Rocky hillsides, riverbanks. | E. TX, sw. OK, NM, and AZ south through c. and w. TX to Mexico. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus typhina | Staghorn Sumac | Roadsides, old pastures, thickets, clearings, rock outcrops, barrens. | NS and NB west to MN, south to n. GA, AL, MS, and KS. | 
|
Anacardiaceae | Rhus virens var. virens | Evergreen Sumac, Lentisco | Open areas, especially on limestone. | C. and se. TX west to s. NM, south to sc. Mexico. |
