|discussion=<p>Some collections of <i>Stevia serrata</i> from Cochise and Graham counties, Arizona, were annotated by J. L. Grashoff as “<i>S. serrata</i> > plummerae”; in leaf arrangement and morphology (venation, margin, and shape), they appear to be similar to typical <i>S. serrata</i> from the same area.</p>
