--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Shrubs </b>or trees 1–3.5(–5) m, branchlets puberulent, glabrescent. <b>Leaves</b>: blade green, flat, oblong-elliptic to broadly elliptic or obovate, 4.5–8 × 2.5–5 cm, length 2 times width, margins flat, smooth, without callose rim, apex rounded and mucronulate, abaxial surface persistently sparsely to densely puberulent-tomentulose, hairs coiling to recurved, adaxial surface glossy, glabrous or glabrate. <b>Aments</b>: staminate 2–3 cm; pistillate loose, internodes 4+ mm, sometimes branched, erect, 2–8 cm; pistillate bracts distinct or connate basally, each usually subtending 1 flower, elliptic to ovate, at least proximal similar in size and shape to distal leaves, minutely puberulent, hairs tightly coiling to strongly recurved. <b>Berries</b> 5–10 mm diam., glabrous, usually glaucous. <b>2n</b> = 22.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Judgments have varied regarding the rank <i>Garrya lindheimeri</i>, as illustrated by the synonymy above. Evidence counter to uniting it with <i>Garrya</i> ovata includes their ecological distinction and allopatry over most of their ranges. Morphological differences between <i>G. lindheimeri</i> and G. ovata are at least comparable to those among some of the California species, which intergrade to a greater extent than these do.</p><!--
--><p><i>Garrya lindheimeri</i> and <i>G. goldmanii</i> are allopatric in Texas, with the former restricted to the Edwards Plateau and adjacent Lampasas Cut Plain and the latter found only in trans-Pecos Texas. They become sympatric in Coahuila, Mexico, and remain distinct although hybrids and perhaps introgressants may be formed. <i>Garrya goldmanii</i> occurs in more xeric habitats, as indicated by the differences in distribution and ecology in Texas, and the ecological distinction also apparently exists in Coahuila. Their distinction where sympatric implies a degree of reproductive isolation and provides rationale for maintaining both at specific rank.</p>
