|discussion=<p>The phylogenetic placement of <i>Fremontodendron</i> has long challenged botanists (W. M. Kelman 1991); it has been affiliated with Sterculiaceae/ioideae (J. Hutchinson 1964–1967), Malvoideae (W. S. Alverson et al. 1999), and Bombacoideae (C. Bayer et al. 1999). It is closely related to the Mexican monospecific Chiranthodendron Larreátegui, and D. A. Baum et al. (2004) suggested (with minimal support) that the two genera are sister to the Malvatheca clade (Malvoideae and Bombacoideae).</p><!--
