Last Revised by: USDA NRCS National Plant Data Team. Vitex parviflora is a transformer species that modifies soils. Once the plants are removed, the sites will need years to return to their native state. Strategies to restore degraded soils are recommended (Marler, 2020). Information & Authors Information Published In. Merrill (1923) stated that Vitex quinata was morphologically scarcely separate from V. parviflora, and indeed the differences between theses two species and the close relative V. cofassus are very minor. V. cofassus always has one leaflet per leaf, calyces that are clearly less hairy than the inflorescence and an emarginate corolla lip. Vitex parviflora A.Juss.
