Broadleaf evergreen plants, including palms, dominate Brownsville neighborhoods to a greater degree than other locations in Texas, including nearby cities such as Harlingen and McAllen. Brownsville is home to the "Sabal mexicana", the only species of palmetto palm native to Texas with a significant trunk ("Sabal minor", also native to Texas, is nearly trunkless. Though it used to cover a large portion of the land next to the Rio Grande, the city contains one of the last native stands of "S. mexicana". "Citharexylum berlandieri" (Tamaulipan fiddlewood), "Rivina humilis" (pigeonberry), and "Leucophyllum frutescens" (Texas sage) are also native flora.
