|discussion=<p><i>Pseudoleskeella arizonae</i> is somewhat anomalous in the genus, and has been moved among four different genera since its description. The species is very similar to a small <i>Pseudoleskea</i>, but differs in the lack of paraphyllia. However, there are collections of other species of <i>Pseudoleskea</i> that occasionally produce few if any paraphyllia. The leaves are also similar to those of <i>Pseudoleskea</i>. Molecular data are probably needed to determine its correct placement; it may represent a new genus.</p>
