Discussion
In the flora area, Tragia jonesii is confined to Pima County in southern Arizona. Identified as T. amblyodonta in several floras, it differs from that species by its stipitate glands and twining habit. Tragia jonesii resembles T. glanduligera from southern Texas and eastern Mexico in the presence of stipitate glands, but differs in leaf blade shape and base, the number of teeth on the leaf blade margin (4–9 teeth per side in T. jonesii, 10–15 teeth per side in T. glanduligera), and the longer fruiting pedicel.
