    Hello. I'm trying to figure out if this plant is Alnus incana, Hamamelis virginiana, or something else altogether. It was found around 35 northwest of Bangor, Maine in a forested, disturbed swamp. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Answer

    kkl234, The leaves you've posted look like Alnus incana (speckled alder). This would also make sense given your location. Thank you for posting.
