Field Notes
It was a very warm and sunny day. The bees and many other insects were out among the plants. This is an abandoned field with lots of over-growth. It has not been visited by many people in the last few years.
Supporting Evidence
Bittersweet has small clusters of green flowers and this had yellow flowers.
bittersweet leaves are glossy, round with a pointed tip and toothed edge. This leaf is fuzzy, oval, and smooth edge of the leaf.
The big difference is that this species is not a vine and bittersweet is.

Comments
pretty though
I like yellow flowers! Wonder what it is? I agree, it's not bittersweet.
yellow stuff
This looks like the stuff that makes me sneeze all the time. And its definitely not Oriental Bittersweet. I saw lots of that on our trip.
