--><p><i>Pseudorontium</i> is similar to <i>Mohavea</i> in having winged seeds, but R. K. Oyama and D. A. Baum (2004) and P. Vargas et al. (2004) found <i>Pseudorontium</i> positioned well outside the taxa usually included in <i>Antirrhinum</i> in both the narrow (D. A. Sutton 1988) and broad (D. M. Thompson 1988) senses. ITS results in M. Fernández-Mazuecos et al. (2013) placed <i>Pseudorontium</i> and <i>Mohavea</i> in different clades; <i>Pseudorontium</i> was sister to Galvezia. The pendent, globular capsules, eccentrically winged seeds, and lack of twining branches distinguish <i>P. cyathiferum</i> from species of <i>Sairocarpus</i>.</p>
