Found these growing behind a bush covered in weeds. I live in South Florida. From what I've researched they are called pigeon berry but I can't be too sure.
I’d also say it’s a Rivina sp. most likely Pidgeonberry{Rivina humilis). I’m familiar with it only because I grow it as a native plant here in Central Florida! It’s related to the American Pokeweed{Phytolacca americana), two different genus in the same encompassing Family Phytolaccaceae. They are poisonous in the same way as pokeweed too, however, the local birds & wildlife live them. They’re shade & moisture loving with some drought tolerance; found usually under the shading of protected in-land forest habitats – not so salt tolerant as to populate the coastal habitats. It gets about 3-4 feet tall, & can become leggy; at which point prune back in Winter & it’ll come back at a reasonable size. It’s evergreen, perennial, & flowers & berries pretty much all year round.

Picture this agrees with what you found.
