|discussion=<p>Subspecies platylepis is restricted to northwestern peninsular Florida (Dixie, Lafayette, Levy, and Taylor counties), where its habitat is threatened by logging. Subspecies liebmannianus grows in eastern Mexico and northern Central America; its conservation status is secure. The differences between the subspecies are small, mainly that subsp. liebmannianus tends to have taller stems (to 1 m) that arise singly from the rhizome versus in clusters in <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> platylepis</i>, and the subspecies perhaps do not warrant recognition. See 1. <i>Phyllanthus polygonoides</i> for a discussion of the relationships between the two species.</p>
