Cotinus coggygria
Common smoketree

Greenish summer stems with brown lenticels turn a brown to orange-brown in fall with raised tan lenticels. The stems are glabrate, have large orange-brown pith and are unpleasantly aromatic when crushed. The purple foliaged cultivars have stems that turn purplish in fall.
