--><p>Using molecular data, P. Vargas et al. (2004) and M. Fernández-Mazuecos et al. (2013) found <i>Misopates</i> to be monophyletic and sister to the Old World genera Acanthorrhinum Rothmaler and Pseudomisopates Güemes. <i>Misopates</i> is distinguished from related genera in the flora area by its annual habit, calyx lobes usually longer than the corolla tubes, and capsules with unequal locules.</p>
