|discussion=<p>Known in the flora area only since 1993 (J. Ideker 1996b), <i>Capraria mexicana</i> grows in a handful of populations in two counties of southern Texas (Cameron and Starr). Reports suggest that a flood extirpated the only known population in Starr County (A. Richardson and K. King 2006). Although rare in Texas, this species is widespread throughout the northeastern half of Mexico.</p>
