J. C. Semple and C. C. Chinnappa (1984) thought that one species, <i>B. hirtella</i>, was closely related to <i>Chrysopsis</i> pilosa but not to species of <i>Heterotheca</i>. G. L. Nesom (1991) included <i>B. hirtella</i> within <i>Chrysopsis</i> sect. <i>Bradburia</i> with <i>C. pilosa</i>. Semple (1996) maintained the genus as separate and transferred <i>C. pilosa</i> to <i>Bradburia</i>. In a cladistic study of subtribe Chrysopsidinae, Semple and L. Tebby (1999) found that the two species of <i>Bradburia</i> form a strongly supported group in a clade with <i>Heterotheca</i> and <i>Croptilon</i>, while <i>Chrysopsis</i> is in a clade with <i>Pityopsis</i>, the Mexican monotypic genus Tomentaurum G. L. Nesom, and the South American genus Noticastrum de Candolle.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><div class="treatment-key"> ==Key== <div class="treatment-key-group"> {| class="wikitable fna-keytable" |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Disc florets staminate; ray pappi of narrow, broad-based bristles 1–3 mm, outer series shorter than and grading into inner bristles |[[Bradburia hirtella|Bradburia hirtella]] |-id=key-0-1 |1 |Disc florets bisexual; ray and disc pappi in 2 distinct series, outer of flat scales 0.5–1.1 mm, inner of barbellate bristles 5–6 mm |[[Bradburia pilosa|Bradburia pilosa]] |} </div></div><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Bradburia |author=John C.
