Lindera bezoin
Spicebush is a fast-growing native shrub, useful in moist, shady places.

It is the preferred food for spicebush swallowtail butterfly larvae. Known as the “forsythia of the wilds” because its early spring flowering gives a subtle yellow tinge to the many lowland woods where it is commonly found. While rather a plain bush in summer, the leaves turn a colourful golden-yellow in fall.
