|discussion=<p><i>Tragia leptophylla</i> is known from the western part of the Edwards Plateau region in west-central Texas. K. I. Miller and G. L. Webster (1967) did not recognize <i>T. leptophylla</i> as a distinct species; they treated it as a synonym of <i>T. ramosa</i>. <i>Tragia leptophylla</i> differs from <i>T. ramosa</i> in its less branching habit, dark reddish stems, usually entire leaf blade margins, fewer staminate flowers per inflorescence, and riparian limestone cobble habitat.</p>
