|discussion=<p><i>Sageretia minutiflora</i> are apparently most commonly weak-stemmed shrubs clambering over and through other shrubs, but they also may be distinctly viny, reaching to eight meters in trees. Lateral branches may self-prune, resulting in ropelike lianas.</p><!--
--><p>Plants of central Mexico identified by R. Fernández (1996) as <i>Sageretia minutiflora</i>, far disjunct from its range in the southeastern United States, instead are <i>S. mexicana</i> G. L. Nesom.</p><!--
--><p><i>Sageretia</i> michauxii Brongniart is a superfluous name that pertains here.</p>
