|discussion=<p>Species 1.</p><!--
--><p>The single species of <i>Cuniculotinus</i> was originally described under <i>Chrysothamnus</i> and subsequently placed in <i>Petradoria</i> (L. C. Anderson 1963) based largely on its woody caudices, herbaceous stems, persistent basal leaves, prominently nerved, coriaceous leaf blades, and anatomical features. Later, it was moved back to <i>Chrysothamnus</i> and assigned to sect. Gramini L. C. Anderson along with <i>C. molestus</i>. Phylogenetic analyses based on ITS sequence data showed it to be part of a basal grade below <i>Sericocarpus</i>, very distant from <i>Chrysothamnus</i> and <i>Petradoria</i> (R. P. Roberts and L. E. Urbatsch 2003).</p>
