Achenes uniformly light brown, slightly compressed, ovoid-cylindric, ca. 0.5(-1.1) × 0.3 mm, smooth.

Fla., Ga., La., S.C., Mexico, West Indies, Central America, tropical South America, Pacific Islands (Hawaii), Asia.

Discussion

Pilea microphylla has been collected once in Tennessee and once in Michigan, but it is unlikely that the species persists so far north. It is widely grown as a houseplant in the north and a border plant in the south. It is a greenhouse weed in various parts of the flora.

Selected References

None.

Lower Taxa
