Ohio Buckeye Aesculus glabra
Family: Hippocastanaceae (Horsechestnut)
Branching: Opposite
Ohio Buckeye is a rare tree in Canada, and is only found growing
naturally in one or two locations. But it is occasionally planted
as an ornamental in place of the introduced Horsechestnut. It
looks similar to Horsechestnut, but its buds are not as large and
resinous.
