Lime Prickly-Ash is a aromatic, prickly, evergreen shrub with small greenish-yellow flowers.  Lime Prickly-Ash is a subdominant species commonly found in chaparral in the Rio Grande Plains and Coastal Prairie of South Texas.  Lime Prickly-Ash grows in a variety of soils, from shallow rocky to deeper clays and sand.  White-tailed deer browse on the foliage and stems.  Many birds relish the seeds, including white-winged and mourning doves.
