A genus of 100-500 species, shrubs and small trees, north temperate and Central America, most in e. North America.
Key advice:All references to leaves and petioles pertain to foliage on short shoots (floreal shoots, or spur shoots), unless otherwise specified. The term "terminal shoots" refers to elongating vegetative twigs, typically at the terminus of branches. Fruiting specimens are helpful, and necessary for at least some parts of Key C.
