|discussion=<p><i>Thelia hirtella</i> has the broadest distribution of any <i>Thelia</i> species, ranging from southern Nova Scotia south to Florida and west to eastern Oklahoma, eastern Texas, and northeastern Mexico. The deltoid leaves of <i>T. hirtella</i> are decurrent and abruptly contracted distally into long, piliferous (at times spreading) apices. The stem leaf margins are long-ciliate, but those of the branch leaves are dentate-toothed at base and sharply serrate distally. <i>Thelia hirtella</i> has rhombic distal laminal cells with stout, unbranched, columnar papillae on the dorsal side, but the cell walls are smooth to somewhat bulging on the ventral side. The costae in <i>T. hirtella</i> are faint and often spurred or 2-fid.</p>
