Mimosa turneri
Also called Turner's Mimosa
Mimosa turneri, Turner's Mimosa or Turner's Desert Mimosa, is a perennial small to medium-sized shrub native to Trans-Pecos Texas southward through central Coahuila to northwestern Nuevo Leon. It grows between 2 and 5 feet (0.61 and 1.52 m) tall and produces pink flowers.
This uncommon species grows as a small to medium-sized shrub that is localized on limestone soil that can range from 2200 feet to 4000 feet above sea level in the desert. This plant is deciduous and has a very high heat tolerance, allowing it to grow in very hot deserts. These plants live in soil with high alkalinity.
