Deeply palmately-lobed leaves. Astringent scent (reminiscent of tomato leaves). Whole plant hirsute. Stipules < 2cm and linear. Found in grass beside a parking lot. Buds, flowers, immature fruits, and mature fruits all present at once.

Found in drier soil and in full shade, measuring 3 ft high or so. I gathered some berries from this bush a couple months ago when they were fruiting, the purple berries contributed to my ID (although not pictured). Leaves ovate-elliptic and serrulate lead me to believe it’s Gaultheria shallon.

Located in dry soil near a trail, about 25 meters tall with multiple other large ones growing within 10 ft. The leaves are simple, green abaxially, and larger than 15cm wide, this leads me to believe this is Acer macrophyllum.

Specimen observed on 8/21/2023. this plant was found growing on and over an old stump next to a vegetable garden. Other plants found growing nearby include Gaultheria shallon, Rubus sp., and an unidentified thistle species. Weather was 70s and sunny. Strong direct light at an angle made it hard to take good pictures, as many shots were both over- and underexposed.
