|phenology=Flowering fall.

|discussion=<p>Kosteletzkya depressa is variable and barely enters the flora area. The southern Texas plants conform more to Mexican populations in characters of leaves, fruits, and seeds; in the same characters, the southern Florida plants show affinity with populations of the Greater Antilles.</p><!--
--><p>An earlier chromosome count of 2n = 34 for Kosteletzkya depressa (A. Skovsted 1941) has been shown to be incorrect (O. J. Blanchard 1974).</p><!--
--><p>Plants of Kosteletzkya depressa are said to have stinging or irritating hairs.</p>
