|discussion=<p>Southern Texas is the northernmost distribution of <i>Tragia glanduligera</i>. In Mexico, it is found in tropical deciduous forests in Campeche, Nuevo León, Tabasco, Veracruz, and Yucatan. This species and <i>T. jonesii</i> are the only species in the flora area with stipitate glands on the inflorescence. <i>Tragia glanduligera</i> differs from <i>T. jonesii</i> by its leaf blade margins with 10–15 smaller teeth per side, shorter staminate pedicels, and truncate to weakly cordate leaf blade bases.</p>
