Discussion
Subspecies caroliniensis is found almost throughout the range of Phyllanthus caroliniensis. In Florida, it reaches its native southern limit in Hillsborough County [it was collected on Key West once in the late nineteenth century (Curtis 185, GH), where it presumably was an introduced waif]. It has also been found as a garden weed in San Diego, California (Rebman 7115, SD), and may become established in that state.
Selected References
None.
