Camellia japonica Alliaria petiolata , garlic mustard , a weed.

I found this on another site. Apparently it is edible and not poisonous. So I went out and picked one and tasted it to see what it was like. Its mildly sweet and somewhat like a white grape in taste. Neither my wife or I experienced either dizziness (beyond normal, that is) or intoxication, though we only licked the juice from a cut on the side of the fruit....#8-) As soon as I can find a recipe for the Jelly, I plan on making some and propagating a bunch of these (if the jelly is tasty) as apparently they 70 to 100% successful to propagate from seed. Family : Boraginaceae Longevity : Perennial Origin : Native Season : Warm Mexican Olive can only be found growing in the South Texas Plains. It is a small tree or shrub that usually only grows 2 to 3 feet tall, but ocassionally can reach a height of 30 feet. The big white flowers are 1 to 1 1/2 inches long and 2 to 2 1/2 inches wide and bloom throughout the year. The leaves are simple and are covered with short hairs, giving it a rough texture. The fruit is white or yellow green and turns brown with age. The fruit is edible and is used to make jelly and a cold and cough medicine in Mexico. Cattle, deer, and javelina also eat the fruit because of its sweetness, however it is said to produce dizziness and intoxication.

Very, very difficult without more info. and a flower - if it was osteospermum - would solve it. I wouldn't suggest it might even be osteospermum without a flower!

My first thought is powderpuff bush. The flower looks like lehua haole, but the leaves don't seem right. Edit: Just did a quick search, and it seems that both names are applied to the same bush, while I've seen them used for two different plants. I'll let you take a look and see which one you like.
