This the pollen of the sawdust tree! Quercus alunima. It thrives in moderate, humid climates. It releases pollen that, when aggregated, looks like piles of sawdust. This used to confuse early settlers when they first colonized America. The puritans used to call it 'the devil's sawdust' since it appeared out of nowhere like magic. But the tree is perhaps most famous for not actually existing because I just made all that up.
