|discussion=<p>Both the morphology and ecology of <i>Tragia cordata</i> make it unique among American members of <i>Tragia</i>. The relatively large, heart-shaped leaves separate it from the other <i>Tragia</i> in the flora area; it is the only twining species of <i>Tragia</i> found in the deciduous forest of the Midwest.</p>
