This genus contains about a dozen species of shrubs and small trees, each with fruits that can be used to make a lathering soap.
This humble plant is easily overlooked, both in its quiet early blooming and later leaf unfurling. You can find it in wetlands and riverine forests in the NE quarter of the US, up into Canada.
