That's nice but that is not required to be seen to identify the Eastern US
Rhus species.

Plant pubescent and leaf stalk not winged = Rhus typhina L.

Plant smooth and leaf stalk not winged = Rhus glabra L.

Plant pubescent when young and leaf stalk winged = Rhus copallina L.

A terminal leaflet would be a single leaflet at the end of a pinnately
compound leaf...

What are "terminal leaflets"?

Your tree certainly appears to be a Rhus, unfortunately the photo
doesn't
show if there are terminal leaflets.

Can you help me identify this tree and this flower.

As near as I can determine from my Audobon book, the tree is some
kind
of
sumac, but I could be wrong.

The flower just appeared in a flower bed this summer. I don't
remember
planting it. It is on a long stem, and the plant reminds me of some
kind
of
bulb or iris plant.
