--><p><i>Kyhosia</i> has been treated as congeneric with <i>Madia</i>, which is evidently more closely related to the Hawaiian silversword alliance (Argyroxiphium, Dubautia, and Wilkesia) than to <i>Kyhosia</i> (B. G. Baldwin 1996). Head architecture is similar in <i>Kyhosia</i> and Argyroxiphium, as noted by S. Carlquist (1959). <i>Kyhosia</i> is the only perennial tarweed with 2n = 12.</p>
