Question
I need help in identifying this plant. The location is in the transition zone between the Hill Country and South Texas plains. It is brush country. One drop of sap from the plant can numb your tongue for several minutes. Even though the plants grow individually, they can be found in groups as seen in the first photo. I don't recall seeing any flowers or fruits on these plants.
Answer
Dear liveoakranch, thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures. Unfortunately, I can't help you here because Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England. Texas is a long way from my region of expertise. If you would like me to help find you folks in your region that can help with your questions, I can do that (just let me know at ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org). Best wishes.
