PHENOLOGY.— Flowering: All year; fruiting: February–May, September–October.

DISTRIBUTION.— Mexico (Coah., Gro., Gto., Hgo., N.L., Qro., S.L.P., Tamps., Ver.).

HABITAT.— Thornscrub, tropical deciduous forest, tropical subdeciduous forest, tropical evergreen forest, oak forest, often on limestone.

ELEVATION.— 230–1500 meters.

NOTES.— Daniel and Acosta C. (2003) provided a description of this species ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE ). It is often misidentified as J. spicigera Schltdl. (“muicle”), a very similar looking plant, which may be cultivated in Tamaulipas. Muicle differs by having considerably less pubescent leaves which, when placed in hot water, produce a colored tonic that is used as a health aid and which yields a blue-purple dye.
