Hogplum, Texas Snakewood (Colubrina texensis), Rhamnaceae Family, endemic Texas native, deciduous, blooms in early spring

Texas snakewood is a dense shrub. Its small greenish-yellow blooms are rather strange looking and give the plant a greenish-yellow tone in April and May when seen from a distance.
For more information, see its entry in the PlantFiles:

The small grasshopper blends in well with the foliage and the blooms.
