|discussion=<p>The evidence that this and the following two taxa are species, instead of varieties or subspecies, is hardly compelling. It is a matter of the author's preference. The work of N. H. Giles Jr. (1942) clearly demonstrated cytological diversity within <i>Callisia graminea</i>, but the remaining taxa have never been investigated in the same detail. The taxa appear to hybridize when they come in contact.</p>
