B. Pisiillate flowers 



A. Staminate flowers 



THE SASSAFRAS (Sassafras Sassafras) 



The leaves show three different shapes, all on the same twig. The yellow flowers are borne on separate trees. The 

 blue berries are handsome on their coral-red stems, the delight of birds in late September. The plump green aromatic buds 

 are good to nibble on a winter's walk
