The distinctive green twigs of sassafras (Sassafras albidum). Sassafras saplings like this are sprouting up within a couple-threefour paces of this twig. The roots spread underground to form a sassafras thicket. This is at Purdue Horticulture Park near McCormick Road. The evergreen shrub in the background is a boxwood (Buxus), probably planted there when there was an active program of planting trees in Hort Park.
