How to identify Phyllanthus gageanus

- Look for a undershrub habit.
- Confirm leaf margin: Entire (smooth edge).
- Confirm leaf surface: Glabrous (smooth, hairless).
- Confirm flower colour: Green.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: October-December.
- Confirm it sits within the Euphorbiaceae family pattern, then compare close relatives before deciding it is Phyllanthus gageanus.
