Tragia cordata, commonly called the heartleaf noseburn, [1] is a species of herbaceous plant in the spurge family. It is native to North America, where it is found scattered in the southeastern United States. [2] Its natural habitat is in rocky calcareous woodlands and prairies. [3]
This species is notable for its intensely painful stinging hairs. [4] It is readily distinguished from other Tragia in the east by its vining habit and large heart-shaped leaves. [3] [5] It produces small green flowers in the summer and early fall. [4] [5]
