--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>usually with 0–5 lateral branches, these usually unbranched, usually sparsely to densely scabridulous, sometimes glabrous. <b>Leaf</b> blades: both surfaces glabrous or scabridulous; vein reticulum obscure or invisible abaxially. <b>Cymules</b> with 1–2 staminate and 1–2 pistillate flowers. <b>Pistillate</b> flowers: sepals oblong to spatulate, 0.7–0.9 × (0.2–)0.3–0.5(–0.7) mm, apex rounded to subacute; nectary annular, unlobed or 6-lobed, enclosing ovary basally.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Subspecies saxicola is a variable entity and some plants can be difficult to distinguish from <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> caroliniensis</i>. Most plants of <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> saxicola</i> look quite distinct with their limited branching and generally smaller leaves (although leaf sizes overlap). They usually also can be recognized by their scabridulous stems, but occasional populations are glabrous. The obscure leaf venation and wider pistillate sepals are diagnostic. In the flora area, <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> saxicola</i> is restricted to southern peninsular Florida from Charlotte County south and is allopatric with <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> caroliniensis</i>. J. K. Small (1933) called this taxon <i>Phyllanthus</i> pruinosus Poeppig ex A. Richard, a synonym of <i>P. discolor</i> Poeppig ex Sprengel, a species restricted to Cuba.</p>
