|discussion=<p>Spigelia hedyotidea, of central-western Texas and northern to central Mexico, is most closely related to S. texana of eastern Texas (K. R. Gould and R. K. Jansen 1999). It can be distinguished from S. texana by its bushy growth habit with more than three stems from the base (versus one to three stems), its usually profusely scabrous (versus glabrous) stems, and its paired (versus pseudowhorled) leaves that subtend the inflorescence.</p>
