| Identification | Jerusalem-oak has leaves that only vaguely look like an oak. The plants grow up to 2 feet tall and have gland-tipped hairs. the leaves are 1.5 inches long, with 2-3 blunt lobes on each side. The inflorescences are axillary and terminal, and they are very long -- up to 10 inches. It does not look like any other plant in NC; it seems to consist of a number of erect to ascending, wand-like "branches" that are mostly the inflorescences. | |
