|phenology=Flowering Aug–Sep.

|discussion=<p>Sageretia minutiflora 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 Sageretia minutiflora, far disjunct from its range in the southeastern United States, instead are S. mexicana G. L. Nesom.</p><!--
--><p>Sageretia michauxii Brongniart is a superfluous name that pertains here.</p>
