| Identification | Young plants may be numerous and are short and few-branched, with leaves in a single plane. Because of being in a single plane, a set of leaves on a branch looks like a single pinnately-compound leaf. As plants mature, they produce taller stems and branches. Flowers are very small, solitary or a few together, on extremely short stalks, from the undersides of leaf axils. | |
| Taxonomic Comments | Moved out of Phyllanthus into this genus, native to the warmer parts of Asia and Australia.
