The plant described has many broad leaves with rough edges. Referring to the dichotomous key:

It falls under 1b (Leaves are broad), so we go to 2.
For 2b, it has many leaves, so we go to 4.
Going to 4b, since the leaflet edges are rough, the answer is Juglans nigra.

Therefore, the correct response is juglans nigra.
