|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Tragia urticifolia</i> are easily distinguished from those of other non-glandular North American members of <i>Tragia</i> by the persistent bases of its staminate pedicels, which are long-extended beyond their subtending bracts. Although similar to <i>T. betonicifolia</i>, <i>T. urticifolia</i> has fewer stems, shorter pistillate sepals, inflorescences with fewer staminate flowers that are not distally clustered, and leaf blades with very light green abaxial surfaces.</p>
