Species
The species of Adromischus are divided into five sections, based on their shared characteristics and relationships:
Section 1 (Adromischus)
Flowers bright green, tubular, with short, wide, triangular, recurved lobes. Anthers protrude from flower tube. Indigenous mainly to the western, winter-rainfall regions of South Africa.
- Adromischus alstonii
- Adromischus hemisphaericus
- Adromischus roaneanus
- Adromischus liebenbergii
- Adromischus bicolor
- Adromischus filicaulis
- Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii
- Adromischus montium-klinghardtii
- Adromischus subdistichus
Section 2 (Boreali)
Grooved, tubular flowers, with ovate-triangular, recurved lobes that are undulated on the margins. Anthers protrude from flower tube. Indigenous to the arid, summer-rainfall interior of Southern Africa.
Section 3 (Brevipedunculati)
Grooved, funnel-shaped flowers with acuminate-triangular, widely spreading lobes, born on long stalks. Inflorescence branched. Usually spreading or stoloniferous plants.
- Adromischus caryophyllaceus
- Adromischus fallax
- Adromischus humilis
- Adromischus phillipsiae
- Adromischus nanus
- Adromischus diabolicus
Section 4 (Incisilobati)
Tubular flowers with elongated lanceolate-triangular lobes. Plants with short, compact, upright stems.
- Adromischus maximus
- Adromischus sphenophyllus
- Adromischus maculatus
- Adromischus inamoenus
- Adromischus triflorus
- Adromischus mammilaris
- Adromischus halesowensis
Section 5 (Longipedunculati)
Pale or pubescent inflorescence with elongated lanceolate-triangular lobes
So-called Adromischus oviforme specimens are actually Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii; Adromischus oviforme doesn't actually exist.
