Plant Identification?


Recommended Posts

I ran across this unusual plant while hiking in San Felipe State Park along the Brazos River, west of Houston.  It's a small bushy tree with lots of small bulbs on the tips of branches, and the bulbs are covered with soft spikes and lots of orange pollen dust.  It has my usual plant expert friends stumped.  The orange pollen was like the orange cheese powder in the bottom of a bag of Cheetos snacks.  Does anyone have any idea what it is?  Two photos attached.

Too bad we don't still have Teas Nursery. Someone there might have known. I suggest contacting the folks at the arboretum or, if there is a pressing need to know like you pet or child ingested part of the plant, the appropriate person at Texas A&M.
