--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>erect or ascending, sparsely to moderately leafy mostly in proximal 2/3, narrowly forked, usually with main axis, 5–20 dm, glabrous, glandular-puberulent, or puberulent with curved hairs, when pubescent, hairs usually densest distally. <b>Leaves</b> strongly ascending at 5–25°, progressively reduced toward inflorescence; petiole 0–1.3 cm; blade glaucous or grayish green, linear to narrowly ovate or ovate-oblong, 5–10 × 0.2–7.5 cm, thick and somewhat coriaceous, base attenuate to obtuse, round, truncate, or subcordate, apex acute to obtuse, occasionally round, surfaces glabrous to short pilose. <b>Inflorescences</b> usually terminal, sometimes also with short branches in distal axils, open, with main axis and short branches; peduncle 5–10 mm, usually spreading glandular-pilose, sometimes merely puberulent or glabrous, crosswalls of hairs pale; involucres pale green, widely bell-shaped, 3–6 mm in flower, 7–12 mm in fruit, glabrous except for few small hairs on margins to spreading glandular-pilose, 60–90% connate, lobes broadly ovate, rounded. <b>Flowers</b> 1–3 per involucre; perianth white to pale pink, 0.6–0.9 cm. <b>Fruits</b> grayish to greenish brown (ribs usually paler), narrowly obovate and tapering at both ends, 4–5.5 mm, usually glabrous, sometimes very lightly puberulent with hairs 0.1 mm; ribs narrow and keel-like to acute or acute-rounded, 0.2–0.5 times width of sulci, 0.5 times as wide as high, smooth; sulci lightly to prominently tuberculate.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>As traditionally treated, <i>Mirabilis</i> carletonii (stems short pilose) and M. exaltata (stems glabrous), both from the eastern portion of the range of <i>M. glabra</i>, have leaves broader than 10 mm. Correlated with this is the presence of two to three flowers in the involucres. The narrower-leaved <i>M. glabra</i>, in the strict sense, has one or occasionally two flowers per involucre.</p>
