Name That Plant!

SE Texas ID's 2

15 years ago

OK, this first one I had posed before and no one figured it out. Well now I know it's Ilex decidua but that mean's the thing I've been calling Ilex decidua before it now an unknown...

#1 is Ilex decidua

{{gwi:163347}}

#2 is what I used to think was Ilex decidua. The leaves were small, about an inch or so in length.

#3 seems like another tough one because it's so non-descript. It's a shrub or small tree with big tender leaves. No smell, no latex, no flowers, just big leaves.

Forestiera Sp. possibly F. pubescens.

#2 looks like it could be a viburnum.

The first looks like a Houstonia. I think the white flower is an Anemone, perhaps Anemone cylindrica.

I think it's Geum too. So before I was told this was Geum as well: It had a basal rosette and send up a stalk with similar white flowers. What species is this?? I also agree on the Acalypha. I figure it was but needed species some species suggestions. Can anyone clue me in on #2? What families should I look through?

The third one looks like a Sabatia, probably Sabatia campestris, Texas Star. WW Here is a link that might be useful: Sabatia campestris, Texas Star.

If I'm not mistaken the leaves on #2 are the size of your thumbnail or bit larger. Quite unlike most Viburnums I'm familiar with.

Might be Cephalanthus occidentalis.

Yes, Chris is right about Forestiera. We had those back in central Texas. My first thought was Viburnum because we have a couple other species growing in the area.

And I belive buttonbush is also correct. The ones I'm used to seeing in central Texas have much smaller leaves and grow right out of the limestone so I didin't even consider it.
