Evergreen shrub ~0.5 meters tall with pinnately compound leaves, leaves thick and leathery and not particularly shiny, leaflets 11-15

Hendricks Park, Eugene, Oregon, USA

Fall Creek, Willamette National Forest, Oregon, USA

Wet area near creek.

In an area with many red-flowering currants I saw this. White flowers with a hint of pink

Branches green and angled; legume fruits, 2.5-4 cm long with long hairs on margins; trifoliate leaves (unifoliate at top of branches)

Species may be incorrect. Unsure of id. Plant was somewhat stunted in height. Amazing to find in bloom in February.

Growing on the edge of a mature coniferous forest.

Gooseberry

"Acorn-like" fruit with no hood, juicy and green, single large brown round seed inside. Long, oval-shaped leaves that come to a point at the end alternate on the branch. Small buds are present.
