There were many of these shrubs (4' to @ 10' in height) growing in the area of the Merritt Island National Wildlife refuge and I forgot to ask someone what they are. I couldn't get any closer to get a close up shot of the leaves because they were growing in a scrub area and we'd already spotted a very large black snake so I didn't want to wander off the path to get more shots. I've searched my plant books and can't quite find a match so I'm hoping someone will recognize this shrub from these pictures:
