Condalia correllii
Condalia correllii, also called Correll's snakewood, is a shrub of the family Rhamnaceae.
The shrub has smooth gray bark, and is commonly up to 3m tall. The fruit is generally a deep violet-black. Leaves are linear, and it belongs to what M.C. Johnson terms the linear-leaved group. [1]
Distribution
Correll's snakewood ranges across the Southwestern United States and into Northwestern Mexico, where it commonly occurs at higher elevations than Condalia globosa, generally 1200-1500 m (4000-5000 ft). [2]
Uses
It has been considered as a low water native landscape plant. It provides useful cover and forage for fruit eating birds. Flowers are notably fragrant. [3]
