|discussion=<p>In recent floras <i>Mirabilis laevis </i>var.<i> crassifolia</i> has been treated as <i>M. californica</i> or <i>M. laevis</i>. The California specimen of <i>M. tenuiloba</i> var. polyphylla (Standley) J. F. Macbride cited by Macbride (1918) [M. polyphylla (Standley) Standley] is considered to be <i>M. laevis </i>var.<i> crassifolia</i>. It has fruiting involucres at the upper range of its length, similar to some plants from the Channel Islands. In Baja California, indigenous peoples have used the plants of <i></i>var.<i> crassifolia</i> to alleviate stomach ailments.</p>
