|discussion=<p><i>Lindbergia mexicana</i> is included in the genus because of its reduced peristome and leaves widely spreading when moist. Plants of <i>L. mexicana</i> differ from others in the genus in a strict sense in having leaves with less distinctly papillose cells (H. A. Crum and W. R. Buck 1994). <i>Lindbergia mexicana</i> is distinguished from <i>L. brachyptera</i> by branches that are subjulaceous when dry, leaves that are acute to short-acuminate, a broad costa extending nearly to the apex, and indistinctly 1-papillose laminal cells. The basal laminal cells are wider than long, in several rows.</p>
